Despite endless industry rumors, Apple Car has always been legendary. Whether or not Apple really makes a car seems to remain a mystery. Not long ago, analyst Gene Munster of the U.S. investment company Piper Jaffray pointed out that Apple will launch a $75,000 car and will be interviewing with Tesla in 2021. This news has been questioned by many insiders.
However, Gene Munster is still optimistic about Appel Car. He firmly believes that we will see some of the results achieved by Appel Car before 2021, and that BMW will become an important partner of Apple.
"We believe that Apple will release its own Apple Car in 2021, and they will continue to use some of the experience to develop Apple Car." Gene Munster said.
As everyone knows, the news that Apple made a car is not groundless, and its construction project "Project Titan" has already been exposed. And Apple did spend a lot of thought on building a car: First, recruit the original Tesla vice president of engineering development Chris Porritt responsible for electric car related projects, and then back to MacBook Air, iMac and iPad and other hardware products, Bob Mansfield took charge of the Titan project. In addition to this, it has also continuously introduced technical talents from Mercedes-Benz and other traditional car manufacturers. It is understood that the number of employees currently participating in the Apple Titan project has reached 1,800.
In addition, Apple’s California Vehicle Authority has revealed that Apple is preparing to start a test project for self-driving cars. Coupled with the already released car-based system CarPlay, Apple’s vehicle manufacturer should be confident.
However, judging from the current information, even if we expect to see the Apple Car in 2021, it is likely to be a semi-autonomous driving car, not a driverless car.
