Apple's supposed automotive project, which is now said to include self-driving technologies. The vehicle, which has been described as (at this stage) being "minivan-like" is definitely in the gestational stages, with Apple toying around not just with autonomous driving but also electric drivetrains and new manufacturing processes.</p> <!--break--> <p>Per
Reuters:</p>
<p>Apple is gathering advice on parts and production methods, the source said, adding that Apple appeared not to be interested in combustion engine technology or conventional manufacturing methods. …</p> <p>In addition to building a car, there is money to be made from the software operating system for a self-driving vehicle, as well as the services associated with autonomous driving, such as high-definition mapping, car-sharing and electric car recharging services, the auto industry source said.</p> <p>"It's a software game. It's all about autonomous driving," the source said.</p>
<p>
Apple's car project is said to include hundreds of employees. What exactly they're aiming to produce is up in the air, although Apple is apparently exploring all avenues — they are a company that will try just about anything internally. Unlike Google, which will try just about anything,
including self-driving electric cars in the public. Whatever comes of this we probably won't know for some time (it might just be Apple building a test-bed for
a next generation of CarPlay)… just look at how long we've been waiting for a 'proper'
Apple TV.</p> <p>Source:
