根据信息的消息来源，Apple Inc.正在寻求加速其电动汽车的开发，并将项目围绕着完全自动驾驶能力，旨在应对已陷入汽车行业的技术挑战。
彭博最近发布了有关这家技术巨头新事业的报告and revealed that Apple’s auto team had been experimenting with two pathways for several years: building a model with limited self-driving skills centered on steering and acceleration — comparable to many current cars — or creating a version with full self-driving capability that doesn’t require human intervention.
工程师现在专注于该项目新负责人Apple Watch软件执行官Kevin Lynch的第二种选择。根据人民的说法，林奇（Lynch）正在推动第一版中具有完整自动驾驶系统的汽车。他们要求不要被识别，因为讨论是私人的。
It’s just the latest move for the Special Projects Group, or “Project Titan,” which has gone through several strategic shifts and managerial churn since its inception in 2014. Doug Field, the team’s former leader, resigned from a job at Ford Motor Company in September after three years in command. Apple chose Lynch as his replacement over an internal executive who isn’t an automotive expert.
苹果公司的目标是为期四年的自动驾驶汽车，少于某些工程师在今年年初预测的五到七年的时间表。但是，时间表尚不确定，并且公司满足2025截止日期的能力取决于公司建立自动驾驶系统的能力，这是该时间表上雄心勃勃的事业。如果苹果无法满足其目标，它可能会推迟发射，或者最初提供较少技术的汽车。爱游戏ayx体育
苹果进入电动汽车市场可能会使特斯拉以及诸如Rivian和Lucid Motors之类的新移民以及传统制造商远离化石燃料。近几个月来，随着越来越多的消费者和投资者赌博他们希望成为下一个特斯拉的东西，电动汽车的股票已经上升。
