operating systems. >> as apple potentially goes to market do you see them partnering with a manufacturer or more likely coming to market with a car of its own? all three in sequence. i think they will partner with an automaker and start to make them power their own baton of his vehicle systems and eventually they could become a designsoducer of car that the automakers make for them, making the automakers a tier one supplier for apple. emily: there are two mobile operating systems that are dominant. do you see the same for cars or more? >> that is a great question. we could end up with more initially. we could end up with somewhere between five and 10 at the

at some point they have to make enough cars to be profitable. until then they can make a lot of claims but nothing looks sustainable. a lot of what they have got accomplished other players can do as much or more. they are just as capable as tesla is. emily: what about a company like gm? what does it mean for a more established automaker trying to take on these tech giants? >> that is a great move for general motors. ultimately you need the three major elements of this to work. you need the car with a lot of internal space. you'd need the technology that directs the car when there is no human involve. gm has the car and a lot of the work on the technology. they can partner to get the rest of the way. the third like is the

regulations and the government helping it all come together. that one is harder to predict. if those three things come together things will happen quickly. gm is a long way along the race in this to get to the car. they have a lot of things moving in the right direction. emily: tim cook got the auto industry talking. thank you so much for joining us. that does it for this edition of bloomberg technology. all episodes are live streaming on twitter. check it out. is all for now. this is bloomberg. ♪
