After previously attracting engineers from Ford and General Motors and researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Apple is now rumored to have attracted senior engineers who were originally in charge of Tesla's driverless car project, indicating that it will indeed promote driverless car products in the future.
Although Apple has remained tight-lipped about whether it will launch a driverless car product, earlier reports of it wooing engineers from Ford and General Motors, researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, and Carnegie Mellon University, and even more recently, reports of hiring Nvidia's driver assistance system computer vision software developers, coupled with recent reports of interactions with BMW and the sightings of what appear to be Apple driverless cars on the road, indicate that Apple is likely to invest in driverless car research and development.
According toReuters News ReportIt pointed out that Jamie Carlson, the engineer who was originally in charge of the driverless car project at Tesla, has transferred to Apple. At the same time, the report also pointed out that at least 6 engineers with backgrounds in developing driverless car driving systems have also joined Apple, and are expected to help Apple improve the research and development of driverless car products.
However, Apple has not responded to this.
In previous news, many market opinions believed that Apple would launch its own car products, and that it might incorporate a design that uses electricity as kinetic energy, and would also incorporate autonomous driving functions to create driverless car products, but Apple has not clarified or explained such rumors.
