Apple Car is experiencing a radical change of direction

There has been speculation for years about an electric car from Apple called the “Apple Car”. According to the Bloomberg news agency, the technology giant is now scrapping plans to produce a self-driving car. Nevertheless, we can expect a car from the brand.

Apple planned to build an electric car without a steering wheel or pedals. The model had to become completely autonomous. This now seems to be an unrealistic plan.

The Apple car

According to Bloomberg, Apple has drastically changed the idea of ​​the electric car. The car will not be self-driving. The electric vehicle will reportedly feature Level 2+ autonomous driving. However, this cannot really be called autonomous driving. At level 2+, the electric car can complete some tasks independently. Think about automatic braking and acceleration as well as parking assistance. In short, not groundbreaking technology. This can already be found in many new cars.

It is still unclear what makes the Apple Car unique compared to other electric cars. The brand has yet to announce anything about the car.

According to the news agency, the electric vehicle will not hit the market until 2028 at the earliest. The model was originally scheduled to be introduced in 2026.

According to insiders, the car has also received a new design. It is unclear what the car looks like. Want to stay up to date on all the Apple Car news? Then subscribe to the free Autovisie newsletter.
