Apple car will be launched by the end of 2019, the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), changing the plans regarding the development of its product, at the same time tripling the team of engineers who develop the machine within the Titan project.
More precisely, the Apple company has hired another 1200 engineers in the team developing the electric autonomous car, the team being effectively tripled at the moment so that the product will be launched on the market in 2019 and not 2020, as was initially rumored in various publications .
The Apple car has been in the development process for more than two years and Apple has invested serious sums of money in its production, hiring a multitude of engineers from renowned car manufacturers such as: BMW, Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, Daimler , Volkswagen and more.
Last week I told you that Apple met with the American authorities to discuss the public testing of its car autonomous, and the discussions came most likely after the team was tripled in order to launch the car faster on global markets.
Apple Inc. is accelerating efforts to build an electric car, designating it internally as a "committed project" and setting a target ship date for 2019, according to people familiar with the matter. The go-ahead came after the company spent more than a year investigating the feasibility of an Apple-branded car, including meetings with two groups of government officials in California.
Apple created a subsidiary company called SixtyEight that develops its autonomous and electric car, it having its headquarters in Sunnyvale, California, the more than 1800 employees who work for it having a rather difficult deadline to reach, considering the complexity of the car.
The interesting part of this project is that although Apple intends to launch an electric and autonomous car, the second part could be reserved for a second model, the system that drives the car itself being far from being ready for public launch.
Having said that, Apple wants to launch an electric car in 2019, so it remains to be seen if it will succeed.
