Apple has once again backtracked on the launch of its electric car project, announcing that it will only be presented in 2026, the US press reports this Wednesday, justifying the delay with difficulties in autonomous driving.
Sources consulted by Bloomberg revealed that Apple’s so-called Titan project now includes a more conventional design, with steering wheels and accelerator and brake pedals, because the vehicle can only operate autonomously on roads.
Apple has not officially announced the existence of the project or its intention to produce vehicles in the future.
Despite this, US media claim that the technology giant known for its iPhones and iPads has been secretly working on an electric and self-driving vehicle for at least 12 years.
According to Bloomberg, Apple’s goal now is to develop a car that allows drivers to watch movies or play video games while driving on the roads.
Apple’s only sign of producing a vehicle were statements in April 2021 by Apple CEO Tim Cook, who said that “an autonomous vehicle is a robot” and that “we’ll see what Apple does.”
