When we think of Apple, the first thing that comes to mind is usually the iPhone. And rightly so, considering its massive popularity. But what about the Apple Car? There have been rumors swirling around for years that Apple is working on a self-driving car, codenamed Project Titan. Initially, it was thought that this car would be a competitor to Tesla. However, recent rumors suggest that this project may have been put on hold.
Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-known tipster who has a solid track record when it comes to Apple leaks, recently stated that the development of the Apple Car seems to have disappeared from the radar. Kuo speculates that we won’t be seeing the Apple Car anytime in the near future. This is based on his past leaks, which have often relied on supply chain information.
Earlier rumors indicated that the Apple Car could potentially debut in 2026. However, these claims are unsubstantiated, and there hasn’t been any concrete evidence to back them up. There was some talk about the Apple Car being tested in Arizona over the summer, but it was nothing more than speculation.
At one point, the rumors suggested that the Apple Car would be a fully autonomous vehicle, without a steering wheel or pedals. But later reports contradicted this, suggesting that it would only be autonomous on highways. The release date for the Apple Car has been pushed back multiple times, and its true capabilities and features remain a mystery.
Speculation about potential manufacturing partners for Apple in creating the car has also been circulating. Names like Kia/Hyundai, Nissan, and Toyota have all been thrown into the mix. However, it’s important to remember that these are just rumors, and nothing has been confirmed.
One thing we know for sure about Apple is that the company takes its time when it comes to developing innovative products. Just look at the Apple Vision Pro, which is set to debut next year but has been in the rumor mill since 2015. So, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Apple Car takes a bit longer than expected to become a reality. Only time will tell what Apple has in store for us in the automotive industry.
