Apple hasn't admitted publicly that it wants to get into the auto industry. But there's plenty of evidence out there.
It could be an actual Apple car, or perhaps just a sleek operating system for another company's car.
Nobody knows yet. Apple (AAPL, Tech30) has declined to comment on "rumors and speculation." But here's a roundup of what we do know so far.
Apple is poaching car battery engineers
In the last month, Apple has hired so many engineers from electric car battery maker A123 Systems that A123 has sued. It claims that Apple is playing dirty and on the verge of gutting the company completely.
A123's lithium ion batteries are currently found in several hybrid cars, including the BMW ActiveHybrid series and Chevy Spark.
