apple car layoffs

Apple has fired no less than 200 of the employees who have been working for several years on the development of the intelligent and autonomous car that the American company would like to launch on the market someday. In recent years, the project focused more on the development of autonomous guidance systems for cars, dozens of cars with Apple equipment circulating on the streets of the USA to collect data to be used for their improvement.

Apple had this project under the name for a very long time Project Titan, and the US press says that 200 of the employees there were recently fired, but the company says otherwise. A spokesperson for the Apple company stated that various groups of employees are being relocated within the company to further develop artificial intelligence systems, so some of those remaining will no longer work on this project, but will be involved in others.

Apple is reducing the number of employees developing the car of the future

Apple is not the first massive layoff made within this team, more than 2 years ago having a similar round of layoffs before rethinking the objective of the project, and hiring new leaders for it. It was rumored about 2 years ago that Apple would have almost 1000 employees Project Titan, so the dismissal of 200 of them, and the relocation of others, does not mean that there are still many who work to bring the technologies to consumers.

We have an incredibly talented team working on autonomous systems and associated technologies at Apple. As the team focuses their work on several key areas for 2019, some groups are being moved to projects in other parts of the company, where they will support machine learning and other initiatives, across all of Apple. We continue to believe there is a huge opportunity with autonomous systems, that Apple has unique capabilities to contribute, and that this is the most ambitious machine learning project ever.

Apple announced a reduction in the number of employees due to the substantial drop in iPhone sales, so we can expect to hear about similar changes being made in its other divisions. Those at Apple have invested billions upon billions of dollars in various projects over the years, all thanks to the good sales of the iPhone, but since they no longer generate much money, it was expected that the investments would be reduced by those from Cupertino.

  6. Seriously, you can come up with better lines. And seriously, how do you know how your mother caresses me? It had to remain a secret. See what I'm doing tonight!

  7. And with billions upon billions invested… what is the end result? Is there a car?! Tesla is already profitable and selling hard, and they started the project after Apple…
    But probably after Dacia will have something similar in traffic, Apple will come up with the "innovation" and amaze its fans...?

  8. They are not able to make a wireless charger and they wanted to make a car ????. I hope they stop because their wheels will jump again or they will put a Renault engine as SRB has in his Mertzan taken in installments. ???

  11. And you're frustrated with that crappy Note 9 that hasn't been able to deliver Android 9 for so many months? What servers do they have from Samsung...as well as phones for that matter.

  12. Claudiul, do you like to act like your Serbian friend?? Go to sleep, gogule, if you are bored with life.
    @Vasi, if they didn't have pressure to buy Tesla at the beginning, I don't really see how Apple will launch a car. Let's not forget through which disused warehouses those from Apple were testing the components of the future car, that's how you saw it at Mercedes and Audi??

  16. Read carefully what the cretin writes... He uses the same elements: low IQ, money, he's considerate, etc.
    The Serb got tired of the same nickname and sees that the world doesn't pay attention to him anymore, so he took a new identity.
    But you're right, Claudiu is more Tolomak than Serb...

  17. Retard is the thread that holds the brain in your skull, you bastard! If someone opens your skull, they see a simple thread connecting the left ear to the right ear....
    You are by far the most toxic troll on Z's site! You don't bring anything good to a discussion, you come to throw poison, you little Pekingese!
    Come on bro, I'll keep you on the ropes until you change your nickname, Crétiene!

  18. I don't know which one of us, a frustrated person who doesn't have a phone or an Apple product but writing idiots or me who can give my opinion objectively with both phones in hand. Only Apple freaks write, that's why the world mocks you and makes fun of you. :)))

    You must have serious mental problems not to write anything about Android 9, which I have not received even now (very shameful) but still to praise Sămisugi. Those with the S7 took a big hit...:))))

  20. Hahahaha! There are many variants:
    – Strangely Rotten Brain
    – Sandilău Retarrd Borât
    – Silviu Brănescu
    - Claudio
    – Super Sick Residue

    etc.

  21. ? Hello everyone, had a really good laugh! But I think that the first option cannot be applied to him, that entity is totally brainless! The second one fits him like a glove. As you rightly say, when it is not a scarab, the acerebral coleoptera thinks, through the alter ego effect, when it is "Brănescu", when it is "Claudiu". It is clear, excessive consumption of hallucinogenic substances seriously harms boredom ???
    But I vote for either Bacterial Residual Substance or Solid Rocket Booster, aka the blue pill!
