Rumor: Apple Car could be a self-driving car

For quite some time now, we have been talking about the possibility of an Apple Car in the future. The last few weeks have also been quite rich on this subject with the rumor according to which the Cupertino firmwould work together with Hyundai. As usual, the apple brandcarefully avoidto say more and nothing is official yet.

An electric and driverless vehicle?

It is nowCNBCto go there with his information. The American media in fact affirms that Apple and Hyundai are in negotiations and on the verge of finalizing a very large contract with a view to manufacturing the Apple Car. The car will be manufactured at a Kia plant in West Point, Georgia. In total, the deal could represent $3.6 billion, with production of the first electric model launching in 2024.

Always according toCNBC, Apple could partner with another manufacturer for the production of its vehicle, in addition to the work requested from Hyundai. It would also be without a driver. From then on, the Cupertino company would therefore focus on the delivery sector initially, instead of turning to the general public market.

It is still far too early to be categorical on this subject. The first rumors date back six years ago and we will still have to be patient before Apple chooses to formalize this project.
