Apple has been working on an unmanned electric car called the Apple Car, according to information leaked to the Internet for a long time now. According to the new information provided by The Information website, the company has encountered some difficulties in this matter. Thus, it was noted in the information that the specialists working on this project with the code name Project Titan and the project leader often change. In addition, the main goal of the project is subject to change every time. According to the report, Project Titan is no longer viewed so warmly by those working on it due to failures at certain stages and a change in its ultimate goal. The report noted that Craig Federighi, the company's senior vice president for software development, is also skeptical of this project.
The frequent change of persons in charge of the project did not benefit him at all. The biggest blow to the project was Doug Field's departure from the project last year. In turn, he was replaced by Kevin Lynch, who previously led the development of the watchOS operating system for Apple Watch smart watches. It was mentioned in the information that the company encountered certain problems when the software developed for the unmanned electric car was repeatedly exhibited. So, although the electric car moved smoothly along the pre-planned route, it always transferred the control to the physical driver during the movement on foreign territory. According to The Information's sources, the Apple electric car, which is an improved version of the crossover belonging to the Lexus brand, repeatedly hit the pavement during test trips around the company's premises and in some cases went out of its lane.
