Old AskMe: if Apple had designed a car?

January 25, 2013 10:06 AM

Within (I think) the last couple years, someone had asked in Ask MetaFilter something to the effect of, what new cars are the Apple products of cars? That is, what cars these are Apple-like in designs and details, quality of materials, user-friendliness, etc. I can't find this thread now—does anyone remember it? Thanks.

Is it in this quote from Neal Stephenson?

I do not know this thread, but would be happy to rave about the Apple-likeness of my smart fortwo, if that would suit your needs.

(Nb unlike Neal Stephenson's hypothetical Apple-car, the smart's innards are more easily accessible than its rivals'.)

Hmmm...that quote wasn't what I had in mind. Maybe I'm conflating some different things and what I'm asking here hasn't been asked.
