If you are wondering what is happening to the Apple Car, the great expert from Cupertino provides the beginnings of an answer on Twitter, and the news is not good, if you were waiting for an Apple-branded car.
With the release of the iPhone 15, Apple news is abundant. We can even say that the company is preparing to leave its comfort zone with the marketing in 2024 of the Vision Pro, its augmented reality headset. On the other hand, there is a product whose absence is glaring in conferences and discussions on the Internet: it is the Apple Car.
Rumors about an Apple car have been circulating on the networks for several years now, but until now, nothing tangible was revealed to us. If we suspect that it would be an electric vehicle, we do not know if the company wants to make it a driverless car, or if it would adopt a more “classic” plan. Ming-Chi Kuo dampens the hopes of Apple fans who hoped to one day see an Apple Car on the roads.

Let us also mention that the automobile sector is evolving very quickly, and in this area, Tesla is a major pioneer in this area. entirely new domain for Apple. This requires massive investments for a return which is not guaranteed. We can therefore imagine that at this stage, Tim Cook prefers to leave the project on the shelf.
