Apple's special team - called Project Titan - have been dedicated to creating their first electric car since 2014.
Background: Apple have had a special team dedicated to creating their first electric car since around 2014. It's called Project Titan (Marvel character?).
What happened: The plan was to investigate two different types of EVs:
What else: Now, sources say Apple is focusing solely on option 2, with plans to launch in 2025...but some reckon this is a little (ok, very) ambitious.
💡The buzz around self-driving cars is huge right now...but it's been buzzing since 2014, and still no dice. And the reason? There are still some major challenges that no company has been able to overcome.
💡We've got the problem of sensors (which nobody has cracked) where they just can't hack wet weather, or road signs with graffiti on them.
💡We've also got limitations with current regulations around self-driving systems...not to mention, are the public really ready to share the road with these EVs? We'll just have to see how Apple plans to overcome these challenges...and whether they hit their 2025 deadline.
