More Proof That Apple Has Way Too Much Money
The Disruptor: Apple Is Spending More Money On Auto R&D Than The Top 14 Automakers Combined
Don't expect Apple's $1 billion investment in Chinese ride-hailing startup Didi to be its last.
Morgan Stanley analysts led by Katy Huberty and Adam Jonas
recently took a look at Apple's spending on incremental r&d and
found something shocking. Not only is the creator of the iPhone spending
more now than it did when it launched its most successful product, it's
also burning more cash than the top 14 automakers combined, and that's
an industry deep in transformation.
While Apple has spent $5 billion on additional research and development from 2013 to 2015, the major automakers spent only $192 million. (Tesla Motors, though not one of the 14, has spent about $444 million over that same time frame.)

The Cali Car Culture Has It's Own Skeletons
The Dark, Stupid Side Of California
Here in the Golden State we’ve got some of the best driving roads in the world, plenty of race tracks to use, and a climate that allows us to enjoy the automotive hobby all year round. And that same mild climate means that cars last a lot longer here than they do in other parts of the United States.
The events? The builders? The cool cars? Yeah, we’ve got them. But the Golden State is by no means a heaven for car lovers. In fact, some might even say it’s hell. Because for as important as the automobile has been to the state, California is a notoriously unfriendly place for car lovers when it comes to legislation and emissions laws.
There are any number of complaints you could raise about how CARB, the Bureau of Automotive Repairs, and the Department of Motor Vehicles operate, but my biggest beef is with the state’s difficult and rigid emissions laws. If you didn’t know, every 1976 and newer vehicle in the state is subject to a biannual smog check that not only monitors the emissions from the tail pipe, but also any modifications or alterations made to the engine, regardless of whether they actually increase emissions or not. Fail the test and you simply can’t register your car.
