Nice story...

With both companies notoriously quiet about their plans, it must be a slow news day...

Hard to reconcile one of the most difficult and user unfriendly data analysis programs (McLaren's ATLAS) with one of the easiest to use and intuitive interfaces (iOS/MacOS), but who knows?

That's an odd pairing. However; Apple does want to sell cars and McLaren has big experience with advanced hybrid technology

I made no statement one way or the other on whether or not the rumors are true. Only that they have been denied.
