Apple Electric Vehicle is back in the spotlight. According to a fresh report, Apple’s super-secret car project has undergone significant updates, and there’s talk of it hitting the roads by 2028.
According to rumours, Apple’s self-driving car will be partially self-driving.
For years, analysts have been gossiping about the Apple Electric Vehicle project, but the company hasn’t said a word about it. Apple VP Kevin Lynch has been in charge of the car efforts since 2021. Now, Lynch’s team is aiming for a more modest version of Apple’s first vehicle, which is named Titan internally.
So, there’s a chance, just maybe, that it might finally make its way onto the streets in the next few years.
According to a recent Bloomberg report, Apple is aiming to launch its car in 2028. This is a very long wait, almost four years, during which time technology will advance significantly, and discussions about flying taxis will be prevalent. However, Apple needs to keep pace with time so that it doesn’t fall behind in technology.
Unlike its other products, the transportation game comes with safety challenges the company isn’t used to dealing with, and they’ll need all the time they can get to tackle them.
Apple had originally planned to launch a fully autonomous vehicle without a steering wheel, but creating reliable self-driving features turned out to be quite challenging.
Their initial attempts began in the 2010s when people believed that cars would soon be driving themselves. Despite using top-notch hardware and software, the progress in navigating roads has been modest. Waymo, a Google spin-off, has been “testing” its self-driving cars for almost a decade, and Tesla’s Full Self Driving feature has been in public testing since 2020.
Apple Electric vehicle which a project and is named “Titan.” can become an actual product. Yet, some within the company believe that reducing autonomy to level 2 has stripped Project Titan of genuine innovation, as per the report. If the vehicle indeed hits the market by the end of the decade, it might end up being just another electric car. However, the presence of the Apple logo guarantees it will come with a significant premium price.
