Apple Targets 2024 for Passenger Vehicle Production: Report

The Quint  

Apple is moving forward with self-serving car technology, targeting 2024 to produce a passenger vehicle which will host its own battery technology, reported Reuters quoting sources. The passenger vehicle project, known as Project Titan, focuses on a new battery design which could “radically” reduce the cost of batteries and increase the vehicles range. The Cupertino giant also recently purchased autonomous vehicle startup Drive.ai for an undisclosed amount, according to reports. Drive.ai was founded in 2015 by machine learning researchers from Stanford University and had been running a ride-hailing service with its autonomous shuttles in Texas, The Verge reported late on Tuesday.
