According to the blog
Jalopnik, Apple is currently testing
autonomous vehicles on a former test site for Fiat brand cars
Chrysler. Neither the car manufacturer nor the Apple firm wanted
confirm or not the information. Still, the site is rented to a
certain company calledRoute 14 Investment Partners LLC
and that Apple has a habit of using other company names to develop
certain projects as discreetly as possible. The autonomous driving system
Apple would therefore continue its development with these tests on
circuits :
The site in question which would be used by Apple is located in the city
Surprise(you can't make this up!) in Arizona. It is about
made the property of Fiat-Chrysler, which carried out tests of its
vehicles in the early 2000s, with scenarios including
to study the behavior of cars in the event offortes
temperatures, as well as in weather situations
rainy, etc.
Silent for several months, the site has experienced aregain
of activityrecently, as reportedJalopnik. Il
it could then be that Apple is a tenant of the premises, well equipped for the test
of cars, with differentcircuitsof roads and
installationsspecialized in particular.
Thus, the testing of autonomous vehicles could be done in complete
discretionand under conditions similar to
reality. Enough to put the driving system into practice
automatic that Tim Cook's firm is currently developing. Namely
also that full-scale tests are already underway on the roads of
California, with specially equipped Lexus RX450h cars,as seen
here a few months ago.
