Apple obtains permit to test autonomous cars in California

What's
more revealing, for the Titan project, than the latest information which comes from
to fall ? The California Department of Motor Vehicles has just
give permission to Apple for testing on the public car network
autonomous. We even know the model of car that will be used for these
tests. This also confirms the direction of the project, the Apple Car would seem
take the path of oneautonomous driving system
only, obviously exit the construction of a vehicle made by
Apple ?

In any case, this is what the latest revelations about the project indicate.
Titan, or this Apple project in the field of autonomous automobiles, supposed
remain secret, but which regularly makes people talk about it with the help of a few
knowledgeable people.

Recently, we heard of Apple's desire to reorient itself towards
the software part of autonomous vehicles, leaving aside everything that
concerns the field of car construction and assembly, as it
was originally a question.

And just a few days ago, Tim Cook obtained the right to test on
Californian roads, the in-house autonomous driving system. According to the
information from Bloomberg, the agreement given to the Californian company concerns 3
vehiclesRX450h de Lexusand 6 conductors.

This is therefore a strong sign of Apple's involvement in this Titan project, which
seems to be taking shape little by little after a few complicated months, notably
last year, with a reversal of strategy accompanied by numerous
personnel changes, including the arrival ofBob
Mansfield at the head of the project.

Namely that Apple will have a lot to do to succeed in its automobile bet, with
already almost onethirty other manufacturershaving
also a permit to test an autonomous car on a public road network in
California…
