- Korean carmakers Hyundai and Kia have said they’re not in talks with Apple about developing an autonomous electric vehicle.
- Several reports said that Hyundai and its affiliate would manufacture an Apple Car whose design, hardware, and software would come from Apple.
- A related report said a few days ago that Apple is upset after Hyundai confirmed negotiations in early January and has paused negotiations.
In past weeks, several reports claimed that Apple was negotiating with Hyundai a deal for the Apple Car, with a contract seeming to be imminent. Apple would invest $3.6 billion into a Kia manufacturing line in Georgia that would mass-produce the Apple Car. Apple would control the hardware design and software, and the car would not be a repurposed Kia electric vehicle, those reports said. The self-driving electric Apple Car would launch in 2024 at the earliest, with a report claiming that it would be a fully autonomous car. But both Hyundai and its affiliate Kia just said that they aren’t in talks to Apple.
