Apple building self-driving car, documents claim - Fulton News
– New report cites documents that show Apple is looking for places to test autonomous vehicles . By Barry Eitel. SAN FRANCISCO – IPhone maker Apple is well on its way to developing a self-driving automobile, according to documents reviewed by U. K. newspaper The Guardian in a report published Friday, confirming years-old rumors of an Apple car. The report claims that Apple is searching for secret locations near San Francisco to test an autonomous car. While Apple’s automobile project, which is supposedly codenamed Project Titan, has been the subject of rumor for several years, documentation gathered by The Guardian is the first primary evidence of any such experiment. Specifically, The Guardian cites correspondence between Apple executives and the owners of GoMentum Stadium, a highly secure facility that was formerly a naval base. On Thursday, The Wall Street Journal published an interview with key Apple designer Marc Newson where the executive sharply criticized the modern automobile industry’s design choices. In late July, a former senior executive at Chrysler, Doug Betts (who also previously worked at Nissan and Toyota), quietly noted online that he was now working for Apple.
