According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple continues to develop its crazy-looking electric car. While postponing the release date, the company gave up the idea of making the vehicle fully autonomous. Instead, it will come with partial automation features like Tesla.
Apple’s a car It has been known for many years that he was working on it. However, there has been no development regarding this vehicle, which is planned to be driverless and is currently called Apple Car. It was even claimed that it was cancelled. However, new information arriving at the end of 2022 showed that the company continued to develop the vehicle and that 2026 was targeted for release.
One year after this claim, new information came about the vehicle codenamed “Project Titan”. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple did not give up on its plans but made some changes.
Target for Apple Car shifted to 2028, abandoning idea of making a fully self-driving vehicle
According to Gurman, Apple’s car scrapped the idea of a fully self-driving vehicle and postponed the release of the vehicle by 2 years to 2028. Allegedly more A Tesla-like electric vehicle It will appear as . This means that there will be no level 5 autonomous driving, which allows fully autonomous driving. Gurman said the company first reached level 4 (autonomous driving in certain situations) and is now to level 2 (partial automation) He says he passed.
The fact that it comes with level 2, which means partially autonomous driving, means that it is very limited in terms of automation. Well only braking or acceleration assistance, lane changing or centering, parking It can work on its own for things like this. We see most of these in today’s vehicles. For example, Tesla’s autopilot is a slightly more advanced version of level 2.
It is also reported that the company still wants level 4 automation at some point. However, the probability of this happening when the vehicle first arrives is quite low. Finally, Gurman says, either the company can release the product with low expectations or senior executives can re-evaluate the viability of the project. The reason for this is that the project may fail if it comes out with lower features than expected.
