The Apple Car (aka the iCar) 2021 update is here!
#applecar #apple
Apple is a company known for its groundbreaking technology in its iPhones, air pods, and other smart devices. So why not a Smart Car? Back in 2014, Apple announced that it had begun work on what they called “Project Titan.” This project involved more than 1,000 vehicle engineers designing an electric vehicle at a secret location in Cupertino. Back in 2016, a rumor began to circulate that Apple planned to put the concept on the shelves and not work on it anymore. These rumors began after some leadership issues and other problems within the company itself.
Some good news for Apple is coming from The Korea Times, in which they reported that Apple is very close to signing a deal with LG to incorporate the design of the LG Magna e-Powertrain. They say that Apple is comfortable with LG Magna e-Powertrain’s smaller manufacturing capacity. I think this may indicate that Apple plans to produce their electric vehicle on a smaller scale compared to that of other major auto manufacturers. If the two companies do reach an agreement on the LG Magna e-Powertrain, LG and Apple will then establish precise details about the production of the Apple Car. Starting with a prototype that may be teased as early as 2024.
