Bloomberg: Apple plans to launch a self-driving car in 2025 Bloomberg citing a source. It is noted that at the beginning of the year, the company's engineers set an estimated time frame for the development of the vehicle in five to seven years.
The source said that the company has set itself the ambitious task of completing the test of an unmanned vehicle system in such a short period of time. If the goal is not achieved, the release of the product can either be postponed, or its sale will begin with a simpler technology. They plan to create an autonomous car without a steering wheel and pedals, and they want to design its interior so that the car can be controlled without the help of hands.
Previously, designers from the Vanarama bureau created a three-dimensional model of the future Apple car based on patents filed by the corporation. The outwardly revealed model resembles Tesla's Cybertrack electric pickup, but has less sharp body corners. The future car will receive a four-door crossover form factor. The car has a rounded roof with panoramic glazing.
