The company is moving forward with self-driving car technology, focusing on new projects with the goal of building a passenger vehicle that incorporates its own battery technology by 2024.

According to the previous report, the long-rumored Apple car may use the “C1” chip based on the A12 Bionic processor and has eyeballs. It also has tracking and other functions in-car AI functions.

There is still some debate over when Apple will launch, and the speculated launch date will vary from 2024 to 2027.

However, reports about Apple cars have increased significantly, indicating that the project is gaining momentum and that Hyundai Motor recently confirmed that Apple cars are in production negotiations.
