Apple aiming to launch fully autonomous vehicle in 2025 - report

Friday 19 November 2021 | 13:36 CET | News
Apple has accelerated its electric car plans and is now aiming to launch a fully self-driving vehicle within four years, rather than the previous five to seven-year timeline, according to unnamed sources cited by Bloomberg. The project has been refocused following the appointment of Apple Watch software executive Kevin Lynch to head the car team, with the attention shifting to a vehicle equipped with full self-driving capabilities, rather than a conventional vehicle with semi-autonomous features, said the sources.
