Perhaps I’m a bit simpleminded here, but the answer to me seems pretty obvious. A lot of people spend a lot of time driving places. You can’t use your iDevice while driving. But you could if you had a self driving car. Owning an autonomous vehicle would open up a bit more free time in one’s day to use consume content and use apps. Which seems like something that might benefit Apple. Whether they actually produce a car, or just license the software that powers the car, or contributes their research to the industry as a whole, self driving vehicles seem strongly in Apple’s favor.
