An Apple analyst tells us that the Apple Car process has been temporarily halted to meet the 2025 deadline. Read more in this article.
“Mass production Apple Car will take a while”
Well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo tweeted last week again about the Apple Car. He says that the team has been temporarily disbanded and hopefully will come back stronger. According to Kuo, the intention is that the design team behind this so-called ‘Project Titan’ will meet again within six months.
The goal of Project Titan, according to several sources, is to begin mass production of Apple’s own car, now called Apple Car, by 2025. However, the process is not without a struggle.
Especially a lot of uncertainty around Project Titan
It’s very unclear what’s going on with Apple Car. One time you think he will be showing off at your door within a week, the next week you wonder if he will ever come at all. Sometimes different suppliers report that they are already getting ready for production, only to hear that yet another new project manager has been appointed.
Project Titan is now owned by Kevin Lynch (ex-Adobe Flash), who is responsible for the popular Apple Watch and all the innovative health meters in this smartwatch. Also Apple-leaker Mark Gurman reported that 2022 should be the year of choices for the car project. Lynch and Project Titan are also greatly affected by the global chip shortage, according to Gurman. So it’s ‘now or never’ for Apple’s car.
What is Apple Car?
Apple Car must become a mass-produced car. By hiring former Tesla employees, among other things, Apple hopes, according to all rumors, to gain a market share in the electric car sector. Apple would have a ‘revolutionary battery’ that ensures that this Apple Car can drive further and faster than ever.
There are also rumors that the LiDAR scanner in the latest iPhones is a test for the technology in self-driving cars. It would be in Apple’s character to bet on these autonomous cars.
Electric (and autonomous) driving is the future of the car industry. However, Apple thinks it has a good angle. By letting voice assistant Siri play a central role, the Apple Car can become a real Apple experience. In any case, we are very curious!
You too? Based on the patents that Apple has applied for, designers have already developed a 3D model built. Here you can move 360 ​​degrees with your iPhone and even get into the car. The Apple Car, or whatever it may be called in the future, would not be an illogical step for Apple, but a very big one!
