It starts innocently with an iPhone, and before you know it, Apple has taken over your life. Your phone, your laptop, your watch, your earphones, literally almost every single electronic you own is Apple.

And, as if Apple hadn't completely taken over our lives already, now they're also planning on launching a car in a few years.

According to Reuters, Apple is officially getting into self-driving car technology with a plan to produce a passenger vehicle by 2024. Moreover, it could also include its own breakthrough battery technology.

Apple actually has been at it since 2014, when they launched Project Titan, but that was put on the back burner. They're coming back strong, it seems, and have plans to distinguish themselves from the competition as well.

Reportedly, the new battery design could "radically" reduce the cost of batteries and increase the vehicle's range. Well, going by the battery of iPhones, it doesn't sound that promising, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Of course, when it comes to Apple, the first thing people do is make jokes and memes, and an Apple car is already giving people so much roasting material.

Cool name.

Imagine you’re in the middle of driving and your car starts to automatically update.

— Adams Keefer (@adams_keefer) December 22, 2020 Don't even want to think about it.

Considering its latest headphones cost A$1,000 anyone want to guess what the price of the car will be? https://t.co/rvbHWTYpmr

— Shaun R (@ShaunoTweetsOn) December 22, 2020 It's scary.

Can’t even get the battery on my phone to hold a long charge and we’re supposed to trust a car?

Suggestion for @apple:
-Maybe figure out battery technology for an 8-ounce iPhone before you move on to a 3,000-lb car? https://t.co/VHai8CZGc1

— Jonah Blank (@JonahBlank) December 22, 2020 It's inevitable.

LOL I CAN JUST SEE ALL THE CARS MESSING UP EVERY TIME A NEW ONE IS ABOUT TO COME OUT! https://t.co/302Q6HXEvE
