Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported that Apple has decided to cancel its autonomous electric car project, known as Project Titan, which has been in development for over 10 years. This decision comes after considering various factors. CEO Jeff Williams notified the approximately 2,000 employees working on Project Titan about the cancellation, creating a surprising atmosphere. Apple plans to relocate most of the employees to John Giannandrea’s AI development department, while those responsible for car hardware and design may be transferred to other departments or let go.
News about Apple’s electric car project has been constantly emerging, often highlighting internal issues and high-level executive departures. The project has undergone multiple scale adjustments, transitioning from building actual cars to focusing on software, and then back again.
