Assuming its a car..

Cars are not phones and I don't see the massive factory/production line being prepared to build the cars nor the investment in battery production that would be required (assuming an EV not an ICE) so unless they buy BMW (LOL!) or another car manufacturer then it will be 3 years minimum from them showing a car to us being able to buy it.

Apple definitely can tear apart the status quo in dashboard/driver UI/entertainment console automotive market. They don't have to make a complete vehicle. Even with semi/fully autonomous cars there's a huge potential for a quality OEM software/sensors package.

Remember aside from the biggest car conglomerates there's a dozen smaller 2nd tier makes who can't afford building self driving car from the ground up. Even the biggest ones invest into it more out of necessity than internal motivation.
