It was revealed that Jamie Carlson, a former senior engineer on Tesla's Autopilot self-driving car program, has now joined Apple in an unnamed position on its special projects team.</p> <!--break--> <p>According to Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/08/21/us-apple-autos-idUKKCN0QQ23420150821):</p>

<p>A LinkedIn profile for Jamie Carlson shows that he has left Tesla and moved to Apple. At least six others with experience developing self-driving technology and systems have joined Apple, according to their LinkedIn profiles.</p> <p>Attempts to reach all seven people were unsuccessful and Apple declined to comment.</p> <p>Sources have said that Apple is developing a car and studying self-driving technology, but it is unclear if the iPhone maker is designing a vehicle that could drive itself.</p>

<p>As we have speculated before (http://www.imore.com/apple-reportedly-has-been-scouting-locations-test-its-titan-self-driving-car), Apple could also be working with other car makers on new vehicles that will incorporate improvements in CarPlay (http://www.imore.com/carplay) technology.</p> <p>Source: Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/08/21/us-apple-autos-idUKKCN0QQ23420150821)</p> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
