Is Apple trying to be the next Tesla Motors?
Apple has reportedly green-lit its mammoth project to build
an electric car, and it hopes to have a new vehicle on the road by 2019.
It has been rumored that Apple was planning to step into the
automobile business and now it is definitely confirmed. The company gave an
approval for tripling the 600 employees already working on the project,
code-named Titan.
According to different reports Apple has faced difficulties
as a result of its lack of experience in the area. It has been rumored that the
team may tap a company such as BMW, and may even consider using the i3 design as
the foundation for the self-driving Apple Car. But only one thing can be sure,
Apple is definitely moving forward with the project.
An Apple entry into the electric car market will
significantly shake up the automobile industry and create serious competition
to Tesla Motors.
