Apple’s plans for their own electric, self-driving car has to be one of the worst-kept secrets of the tech industry, and a recent report from the California DMV only serves to suggest that Apple is most definitely ramping up their efforts in their testing as the agency claims that Apple’s self-driving cars have logged twice the mileage in 2020 compared to that of 2019.According to the report, Apple’s cars equipped […]

Right now many are looking at creating a future in which fossil fuels will no longer be used to power our automobiles.

Apple And Hyundai Talks Over The Apple Car Have Been Put On Hold

Par : Tyler Lee
Apple’s plans for their own car have been kind of an open secret. While the company has never quite normally acknowledged their plans, all their various hires have certainly suggested as such.

Many car makers and tech companies are working on self-driving cars that will do away with the need for a driver.

BMW, Audi Have Ended Their Car Subscription Service

Par : Tyler Lee
In the recent years, we’ve started to see a shift in the trends where more companies are turning towards subscription-based services.

Hyundai And Apple Could Sign An Electric Car Deal By March

Par : Tyler Lee

Hyundai Could Help Apple Manufacture Their Apple Car

Par : Tyler Lee

Apple Car Could Still Be 5-7 Years Away

Par : Tyler Lee
While Apple’s plans to transition away from Intel and use its own custom silicon for its computers was considered a bold step, we reckon that the company’s plans to launch their own car is probably one of their most ambitious (rumored) plans to date. This is because car manufacturing and transportation is something Apple isn’t exactly known for, nor is it something they have experience in.This is why we can’t […]

Walmart Will Expand Its Driverless Truck Program In 2021

Par : Tyler Lee
Right now, pretty much all delivery trucks are driven by humans. The problem with this setup is that humans need rest, they can make mistakes, they can be delayed, and so on.
