(Boursier.com) — Apple , the Californian colossus from Cupertino, is cutting more than 600 jobs in California following its decision to put an end to certain projects, including that concerning autonomous cars. This is at least what emerges from statements to the California Employment Development Department relayed by Bloomberg. Eight separate reports were thus delivered by Apple on this subject, in order to comply with the State’s reporting rules. Apart from Apple’s automotive project, a declaration corresponds to a group site which was dedicated to a new generation screen. “The automobile project was canceled due to executives’ indecision about its direction and costs. The screen program was interrupted due to engineering, supplier and cost problems,” details Bloomberg. 371 employees were affected in Apple’s main automotive office in Santa Clara, along with dozens more in several satellite offices. In some cases, members of the Apple automotive group have been transferred to other teams, for example in artificial intelligence or to work on personal robotics, adds Bloomberg.
