Apple's objective: 500,000 “Apple Cars” per year and disruptive technologies on offer

The English magazineAutocarmanaged to obtain information about
theTitan project, or the development project of a car
electric by Apple, thanks to a few people very close to the program.
In the article in question by the journalistGreg Kable, on
find a whole bunch of information on the progress of the said project, but also
THEintentions of Apple and Tim Cook, the technologies put
in play andsome key figures, includingdates
planned launch. In sum,important
detailsfor a less and less secret project:

We actually already know quite a bit about this Apple Car, namely this
electric and autonomous car which is currently in preparation on the side
from the Cupertino company, but the file from Autocar, thanks to sources
well informed, allows you to have a good overview of this project, which
would also be expected asa revolution in the market
the car.

With this in mind, Tim Cook, at the helm, would leave nothing to chance and
would like this car marked with the appleor one step
important technologicalin the automotive field. According to
article, the Apple Car would therefore be an electric car integrating
new techniques ofpropulsion with charging technology
fast.

Also included would be the ability to drive autonomously (like the
already does Tesla), but also the possibility of carrying out checks
with simple gestures. Finally, it is described, among other things,
useholographic screens, features
connectedinternet and virtual assistancevia
high level artificial intelligence.

Rather technically ambitious, the Titan project is also ambitious in terms of
numbers. Apple would aim to sell500,000 cars per
an, which seems quite small compared to the iPhone, which sells for up to
of230 million each year, but who, on the market
automobile, is a high figure. In comparison, Tesla is 10 times less
of cars sold in 2015 (around 50,000).

Concerning the dates, while lately
2020was the year targeted for a presentation to the general public, Apple
would now target the year 2021 for releaseof an Apple Car
in first version, followed by a new versiontotally
autonomousplanned for 2026.

The appointment is made. Tesla, already on the market, must keep and
confirm its lead before seeing this important competitor arrive marked by
the apple that nourishes great ambitions.
