US-based technology giant Apple has been on the agenda with its fully autonomous car project for years. At this point, however, there has been no official development to date. In other words, everything has remained only about claims and patents until today. The latest news reveals that Apple is still working on the car project, but the accounts at home do not fit the market.
Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, a solid source of leaks about Apple, made new statements on the subject. Talking about the shrinkage of the project, Mark Gurman said that the launch date was also delayed and extended to 2026. Although there were different rumors before, the year 2025 was predominant.
Apple will produce a traditional car instead of a futuristic one
*Concept design.
According to previous claims, Apple would produce a car that looked like it came from the future. In this car, there would be no steering wheel and pedal, the vehicle would be fully autonomous. However, Mark Gurman says these plans have been shelved for now. According to sources familiar with the subject, Apple will produce a traditional car with steering wheels and pedals, like thousands of others on the market today. In addition, this car will have a partially autonomous driving system, as in existing Tesla models.
Apple’s car can compete with the Tesla Model S in terms of price!
*Another concept design.
According to the latest news, Apple’s car will be priced under 100 thousand dollars. This price shows that it will compete with Tesla’s Model S, the number one name in the electric car world. If this claim comes true, we can easily say that Apple’s car will offer high performance.
In the meantime, some information about the technical specifications of the vehicle is also available. This car, for example, is said to have a processor as powerful as four of Apple’s top-of-the-line M-series chips. In addition, Apple will use LiDAR and radar sensors for autonomous driving. However, we do not know when we will officially encounter all of this.
