... it is beneath the dignity of excellent men to waste their time in calculation when any peasant could do the work just as accurately with the aid of a machine.

这是一款我喜欢的产品While his grandfather and father were both engineers, he was more involved in working out the appearance of a product. He never thought of himself as an artist or designer, but more as a technically talented craftsman in shaping. ——Ferdinand Alexander Porsche
这位可能是对保时捷911影响最大的设计师F.A. Porsche: “A product that is coherent in form requires no embellishment. It is enhanced by the purity of its form.” Form should be presented in a way that is easily understood and that does not divert attention from the product and its functional purpose. He has always been convinced that “Good design must be honest”, “A good product must be discreetly good”. Later, he made this statement even more concise and clearer, emphasizing that “Design is not fashion”.
Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche applied four fundamental principles in his work: “Reduce everything to its primary function. Focus on the clear and timeless form created in this way. Use the most suitable and progressive materials for this purpose. Choose quality of finish combining tradition in craftsmanship with high technology”."Trust me ... the Porsche myth is alive and will never founder," he told the boisterous crowd with a trembling voice. ——Dr. Wolfgang Porsche

这位也是观察苹果比较深的记者Jobs and Fadell, who had collaborated on the iPod and iPhone, swapped ideas about car designs on multiple occasions. "We had a couple of walks," Fadell said in an interview with Bloomberg's Emily Chang. The pair posed hypothetical questions to each other, such as: "If we were to build a car, what would we build? What would a dashboard be? And what would this be? What would seats be? How would you fuel it or power it?"
As Fadell points out, phones and cars aren't that different. "A car has batteries; it has a computer; it has a motor; and it has mechanical structure. If you look at an iPhone, it has all the same things. It even has a motor in it," said Fadell, who's now the chief executive officer of Alphabet's Nest home appliances company. "But the hard stuff is really on the connectivity and how cars could be self-driving."
没错，汽车真正的难点是连接与自动驾驶
前者已经被5G解决，后者还需要一些时间，或者LLM能解决这个问题"At the end of the day, what was the biggest one that had the biggest dramatic impact on the world?" Fadell said. "We said, 'OK, we're going to focus our energy on that. Forget all this other stuff.'"
那现在2024年的决策，我们可以看到，苹果认为AI对世界有更大的影响，而不是Apple Car"I think you're going to see some dramatic changes in the way we think about these cars and the accessibility in terms of the price points," Fadell said. "But we're still seven to 10 years away from a mass switch-over."
Fadell是2015年11月接受采访的，2024年苹果放弃了造车，这可能是个忧伤的故事He also admired the design of the Mercedes. “Over the years, they’ve made the lines softer but the details starker,” he said one day as he walked around the parking lot. “That’s what we have to do with the Macintosh.”
原来这才是乔布斯喜欢奔驰的原因Great art stretches the taste, it doesn’t follow tastes. ——Steve Jobs
换成小白的话语就是：真正好的东西，总能被人发现和感知One day in March 1981, Andy Hertzfeld came back to the office from dinner to find Jobs hovering over their one Mac prototype in intense discussion with the creative services director, James Ferris. “We need it to have a classic look that won’t go out of style, like the Volkswagen Beetle,” Jobs said. From his father he had developed an appreciation for thecontours of classic cars.“No, that’s not right,” Ferris replied. “The lines should be voluptuous, like a Ferrari.”
“Not a Ferrari, that’s not right either,” Jobs countered. “It should be more like aPorsche!” Jobs owned a Porsche 928 at the time. When Bill Atkinson was over one weekend, Jobs brought him outside to admire the car. “Great art stretches the taste, it oesn’t follow tastes,” he told Atkinson. He also admired the design of the Mercedes Over the years, they’ve made the lines softer but the details starker,” he said one day as he alked around the parking lot. “That’s what we have to do with the Macintosh.”“A never-failing will to create only the best … persistently to find new ways.”
