Apple plans to produce an autonomous vehicle by 2024, according to information Reuters. The company is working to produce a passenger car that will include its own proprietary technology in the battery development.
This IT giant’s initiative to produce its own autochthonous proposal is known as the Titan Project and has been in existence since 2014, although it has been known in great detail.

Apple is listening to external societies to obtain elements of the system, including sensors Lidar that allow autonomous cars to have a three-dimensional vision of the world and real time. In fact, Apple is also developing its own Lidar technology.
It is not clear who assembled a car from the murdered manzana, but the sources mentioned by Reuters show that the company is associated with another company to build vehicles.

Amazon Zoox
Cabe signals that the industry of autonomous vehicles is growing and bringing new players together.
