As Xiaomi and Huawei speed up their entry into the auto industry, Apple is also speeding up a round of talks with hypothetical suppliers to release the much-anticipated Apple Car that has been talked about a lot but has little or nothing about. viable. If you know. Except that the project dates back to 2014 and will include the development of an autonomous electric vehicle with proprietary technologies and an emblem. But with the peculiarity that the production is provided by a traditional car manufacturer, because Apple never likes to invest in the production of its own products. This is how contacts were established between the manufacturer from Cupertino and brands such as Hyundai and Nissan. If these negotiations break down, Apple will turn to Toyota.
In accordance with DigiTimesThe man in charge of the American tech giant visited Japan and visited another giant, Toyota, the world’s largest automobile manufacturer, which, moreover, associates its sheer size with high levels of reliability. These two attributes will fit like a glove on Apple’s list of requirements, which, like the iPhone, prefers to “ship” production to third parties, which suggests that after-sales service will be provided as well. from the car manufacturer with whom the Cupertino-based firm has entered into an agreement to produce its future electric car, and it looks like it will also be autonomous. The technology is complex, and legislation in this area is still not restrictive, but the hypothesis that Apple intends to sell its system only to car manufacturers and not to manufacture its own car has been considered. The fog remains around this topic as Apple has never confirmed or denied this information, just as it has never publicly objectified the content of its negotiations with traditional car manufacturers.
However, Apple Car (or iCar) is expected to have the same impact on the automotive industry as the iPhone does to us. smartphones, considering itself a designer product, innovative and super connected. And, by the way, with reasonable autonomy, which allows you to spend more time in circulation than when connected to current.

This is one of the (few) criticisms that Apple fans have about the iPhone. Realizing that this “flaw” will be harder to forgive in an electric car, Apple will already be working on a battery of its own design that can simultaneously extend autonomy and reduce costs, according to Reuters. Undoubtedly, the technology “goes on a crossbow” negotiations with battery manufacturers, meeting with representatives of the South Korean SK Group and LG Electronics.
Despite this apparent acceleration of iCar, reports indicate that it will not launch until 2024. crisps not disrupt the development and testing schedule, forcing the project to be postponed.
