On: Documents confirm Apple is building self-driving car

[arihant]

Apple's three big successes - personal computer, music, and phone. All seemed very atypical of them too. In fact, self-driving cars is very similar to where a PC was with the homebrew club.

I get music and phone. But how was a PC atypical of Apple? It's what they were founded for. It was their first product.

[shawndumas → mikeash]

You are correct of course; Apple's first was a PC. But apropos of nothing, Steve & Steve's first 'product' was blue boxes [1].
