Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] Everything we know so far about the Apple Car September 30

Single seater car for day to day work, one car per person in the family.

For family outing, all the members are go in their cars.

Not long ago, all members share a landline.

Now every one has his own communicating device.

No one picks incoming call on landline because one does not want to be call attendant.

In any case, more communication takes place on Facebook, WhatsApp than voice calls.

Why not each on in his cocoon like pod, personalised with interiors, sticker and music but still on family channel, chatting as if every one is facing every one else ( on video screen) since driving is not to be done.

Best

Single-seaters might sell to singles who expect never to have a passenger. Sounds to me like a very small market.

Now we move to phones! :-)

The iPhone 6 is as you say, versatile, not too big, not to small. One model. Efficient.

How do you do that with a car? We have:

Shopping Trolley - teeny 3 door
Sedan
Station Wagon
SUV
Sports

Your idea of a single seater would suit as you can do one model. It would have a market but I suspect a niche market. Many homes would require another car as well

If the product is versatile, single product makes it as a commodity and generates economies of scale in production, sales and universality of market which pushes the Brand equity.

Thats playing with numbers a tad.

Apple makes one phone more or less. It has across all its products an extremely limited spec range. Efficient. Others go too far the other way, eroding efficiencies. I doubt you can do that with cars, making one model, and therefore cutting the cost of all the parts by 40%, in order to create the margin
