Although it is still early for Apple Car dreams, the brand continues to invest in its electric car project. Judging by the latest details, an important purchasing move for the Apple Car electric car project is on the way.
Bloomberg writer Mark Gurman has revealed new details for the Apple Car electric car project. Accordingly, Apple is in pursuit of acquiring Canoo, which it is already closely interested in.

Apple may be planning to shelve the Lightning port. The change that started with the iPhone will affect all devices.
Canoo claim for Apple Car electric car project
Apple previously named former Canoo CEO Ulrich Kranz one of the project’s top executives for the electric car project. Kranz, on the other hand, brought along many important designers and engineers working on the Canoo project.
Canoo has been in a difficult situation for the electric car project in recent months. Having trouble with financing, the firm is looking for formulas to attract more investors. Mark Gurman, on the other hand, claims that Apple stepped in at this point.
As you know, Apple set out with important partnerships and acquisitions in many of its projects. In this sense, Canoo, which is an important source of inspiration for Apple Car, may be the new target of the company.
It is a matter of curiosity whether Apple will be the lifeblood of the Canoo project. The goal of the project is to launch the first Canoo vehicles under 40 thousand dollars by the end of 2022. It is not yet clear whether Canoo, which looks like a minivan, will receive financial support from Apple in this sense.
The Apple Car electric car project is still in its infancy. Recent estimates suggest that the project cannot be completed before 2025.
Although Apple does not leak details for the automobile project, the project is expected to be fully autonomous. Again, in this sense, it is among the claims that there will not be a steering wheel in the electric car as we know it. However, we can say goodbye to the pedals with this design. The Canoo project, on the other hand, is among the biggest rivals of Tesla Cybertruck with its cubic design language.
It is easy for Apple to invest in this project and then use the experience it gained for the Apple Car project. However, one of the challenges for Apple is that fully autonomous technologies are not yet fully ready.
