Great design, but the Tesla S is not an autonomous car.

Mercedes has shown us their California developed autonomous car, and it 
will be interesting to see the direction Apple takes on four wheels.

Corse they can, by making it look like someone else's car being tested.

There is for example no reason why the entire body can't be completely
different when it's being tested and then when its announced as Apple's
car, they whip the covers off Apple's body, just like they do with quite
a few new conventional models.

> imply that Apple isn't competent ?

See above.

You shouldn't be.  It's like you print "kick me" signs.

Probably not too bad as long as they stick to Santa Clara County. 
Remember the Cal DMV is just up the road in Sacramento.
Not too good if they head over I-80 over the Donner Pass through 
Truckee to Reno, or CA-50 to South Lake Tahoe in the thick of a Sierra 
storm.

They are hinting at a "disused" (Where did they come up with that 
word?) military base. I can't see the Presido or Hamilton AFB as likely 
candidates, but the old housing complex at the now closed Fort Ord near 
Monterey could be a possibility. "Mythbusters" has used those abandoned 
Fort Ord streets for many a Mythbusting show. There is just not too 
much snow in the Monterey Bay area for that winter testing, but the sea 
food is pretty good.

Nothing secret about it; it's here:
<http://gomentumstation.net>  It's the former Concord Naval Weapons
Station.

That is a pretty good guess. However, there is no mention of parnership 
with Apple, actually there is no mention of Apple at all. Right now it 
seems that Contra Costa County (CoCo County for locals) is soliciting a 
collaborative parnership with anybody. They need the facility to start 
churning revenue.

So, we really don't know, unless there is something you are privy to 
and are not telling us.

Apple didn't rent the auditorium for its keynote. It was some other
company that did. So I suspect if Apple needs some private facility to
test its stuff, it would be rented thorugh some shell/numbered company
so that it isn't obvious it is done by Apple.


I saw cars being test driven in the middle of Australia. chatted with
the drivers.  All identifying markes are removed from cars so you can't
know who the manufacturer or name of model is. I suspect Apple would do
the same.

It may even make a dummy car body that generically fits on the car frame
and gives it a very generic look during the development of the software.
The only way to spot it would be from Apple is that the guy woudl pay
for gas with an iPhone instead of Android phone :-)

It's not a guess; it's fact.  I was pointing out which facility it was
not anything about the connection.

But since you need to be led by the hand...

“The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.”

Apple doesn't have to give up any more secrecy than it already does
with other products.

The initial tests will be done on private property, so don't require
any publicly accessible legal paperwork at all.

Later tests on public roads will require potentially publicly
accessible legal paperwork to get permission, but that could be filed
by a spin-off company with no known / findable connection to Apple.
