According to information from Digitimes, Apple has chosen to enter into a research and development contract with TSMC to build the chips that will operate« l’Apple Car ». If Apple's autonomous car project is still very far from its final stage, the project is taking on more and more meaning, as rumors lend credibility to the Apple brand's intentions in this project.
According to this new report, the Apple car project is nevertheless well advanced. Indeed, Digitimes assures that Apple is prospecting to build the factories which will be used to prepare the models. Factories that should be located in the United States to begin with.
According to the report, contractors working on the "Apple Car" described it as "Tesla-like," but that information could just as easily apply to the components as to the car's aesthetics.
It is now difficult to say whether Apple plans, as the Titan project hoped, to create its own autonomous car, or whether the Apple brand "only" aims to develop the technology behind autonomous driving for then resell it to groups established in the automobile market.
This new report, for its part, confirms the particular interest that Apple has in the project of an autonomous car. A few days ago, a patent from the apple brand had already brought this subject back to the table,Apple spoke of a technology capable of automatically tinting the windows of this “Apple Car”.
