Apple's Mystery Vans Now Spotted In Hawaii
(CBS SF) - Another minivan outfitted with a camera contraption has been spotted on the road, this time in Hawaii.
The vehicle is the latest linked to Apple, which has been rumored to be exploring the electric vehicle business and potentially a self-driving car. Others have suggested that the vehicles are more likely Apple's response to the Google Street View mapping technology. Business Insider reports that the new photo was snapped near the Kona Airport on the Big Island.

Earlier this month, a photo posted on the Claycord.com blog showed one of the Dodge minivans on the streets of Concord. The van appears to be similar to one seen in a YouTube video that claims to be a self-driving vehicle.
According to the Department of Motor Vehicles, the car is leased to Apple, which is not one of the half-dozen companies issued testing permits for driverless cars. CBS has confirmed that a second car, in Youtube video from New York, was also leased to Apple.
