Probably most folks would think Apple could build a car -- and something being a computer on wheels Apple could handle, its more like Apple probably doesn't like the economics of it.. iphones and software services are pretty lucrative, and worst case scenario you ask the person to bring in their phone to get a replacement.. when you scale that up to building service centers, paying mechanics, building huge factories that produce a small number of cars per day compared to the 1 million iphones per day it would be a losing part of the business in both profit margin and risk for years even if they end up being pretty successful with it eventually..
