- A few days ago, a report said that Apple is still developing its own self-driving electric car, detailing a breakthrough battery innovation the company is reportedly working on.
- Tesla CEO Elon Musk addressed the Reuters story about Apple’s car plans, indicating that some of the rumored Apple battery innovations might already be used in Tesla cars.
- Musk also claimed that he pitched Tesla to Apple for around $60 billion in the “darkest days” of the Model 3.
A report from Reuters said a few days ago that Apple is still interested in making its own self-driving car, with a tentative production set for 2024 at the earliest, essentially reviving the Apple Car rumor. The iPhone maker was rumored several years ago that it created a special division within the company to develop a vehicle of its own — Project Titan. As years passed, those rumors died down. The new rumor says that Apple is developing two technologies that might help it stand out in the self-driving electric car business. Apple is working on its own lidar system that can track the objects around the car and allow it to drive itself. The second one seems to be an even more impressive breakthrough. Apple is developing its own battery technology for electric cars that could extend the range significantly.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk reacted to the news on Twitter, addressing some of the report's claims and saying that he tried to sell Tesla to Apple a few years ago for a fraction of what the company is worth now.
