After security and programming, I love cars!! 🙂 I admire the different makes and colors and features of the different cars. I always wonder if it is a gas guzzler, has power features, remote “this and that” and more. In line with that, while I was doom scrolling the other day, I saw some talk about the “Apple Car” and my eyes widened even more. Apple was making a car? – when did that happen? (apparently from 2014!! :)) I admit that we have all been living under the Corona rock for quite a while now and many things have come and gone. These are the few facts I have gathered so far:

  • Project Titan a.k.a Apple Car takes off in California in 2014
  • It is the automobile industry’s worst kept secret!
  • There have been numerous layoffs, losses and new hires from 2014 till date in trying to make the car
  • Employees kept moving back and forth between Tesla and Apple and other automobile companies trying to make the ‘Apple Car’
  • ‘Apple car’ is supposedly a self driving electric vehicle
  • Apple Car might not have a steering wheel! (wow! :))
  • There might be alternative ways to illuminate the interior of a car
  • ‘Smart seatbelt’ might be present that might control CarPlay devices
  • Illuminated seats in the Apple Car might be a possibility
  • “The sunroof of an “Apple Car” could be set to slide through a large glass panel, but in such a way that it remains central despite the car framework and tracks diverting away in non-parallel lines” (Source: https://appleinsider.com/inside/apple-car)
  • The infrared head lights could allow the Apple car driving system to see three times more than a normal car driver
  • A car that detects its driver through their fingerprint and drive them to their destination? Its possible…with the Apple Car! 🙂
  • Apple may have to work with existing automobile manufacturers to build the car
  • Hyundai and Nissan may have been asked to start production of the Apple Car
  • The Apple Car is expected to have a release date of 2024 or later!
  • So, how much will it cost? With acute competition from Tesla and other automotive companies, Apple Car may well be priced above $50,000!! (Source: https://www.macworld.co.uk/news/apple-car-3425394/)

Apple products are always a game changer…whether it was the iPhone, iPad or other devices. I am sure the Apple Car will definitely be one too! Are you waiting to test drive one? I sure am… 🙂

  1. Wow super informative. I am completely a non tech person. with your post learnt a lot about apple cars. looking forward what is coming next?

  2. That is super informative. Both this one and Tesla self driven car are interesting concept but i somehow like the good old driving! I dont want to give up that skill and thrill!

  3. What I’m worried about is what will happen if the software malfunctions while the car is being driven. Even F1 cars are catching fire or shutting down completely and they’re supposed to be sophisticated machinery.
