News about the Apple Car!
The Titan project, as Apple’s secret project to develop an electric car from scratch was called a few years ago, is not as dead as believed. Rumors circulating these days suggest that Apple still has some automotive ambitions, although these ambitions are now much smaller than before the pandemic.
In any case, what is causing a stir in the technology world is the rumor rekindled by Bloomberg that Apple could release a car around 2028, which, if you follow the rumors, is two years later than initially planned.
The supposed reason for this delay is that Apple has not been able to develop a self-driving system that meets its satisfaction. As a result, it had to develop another level 2 system, which is less sophisticated and essentially similar to what General Motors and Tesla already offer.
In any case, it is still unknown where the Apple Car could deploy level 3 or higher autonomous driving. Mercedes-Benz unveiled a CLA concept at CES in early January that will have level 3 autonomous driving, but it will only be functional on a few stretches of highway in Nevada and California.
In conclusion, this is another mystery surrounding Apple to keep an eye on… Remember, for the record, that 15 years ago it was promised that Apple would launch its own very large format 4K television, and that never happened. So, anything can happen.
In the meantime, Sony and Google could also launch their own electric and autonomous vehicles. As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire…
