An Apple Car will reportedly be coming as early as next year, Are you excited about it?
“Apple Car…. name not heard in years,” might be something an amazing tech enthusiast would say as news that Cupertino’s self-driving automobile is years ahead of schedule reaches their ears.
Rumors of an Apple-developed car but, thanks to Taiwanese publication Economic Daily News. The Daily News report claims executives at Taiwanese manufacturers tipped it off about an Apple Car being ready in the third quarter of 2021 — apparently two years ahead of schedule.
Now we know that your finest salt of doubt, as a 2021 release of an Apple car is some very dubious sounding news.
Meanwhile, Apple oracle has earlier said that an Apple Car will be released in 2023 or in 2025. But this is impossible because, that an Apple Car will be released within 12 months' time when we’ve seen barely any recent leaks about it, has us raising a serious eyebrow.
First off, testing a car in secret way is very very hard in the digital world. With this only, the car makers struggle with, and even when testing their cars in locked down in a secret way.
Even if Apple has managed to keep such a car secret, car making is a long process full of difficult stages of development just to get to a prototype and then production lines and going through safety checks for further approval.
Apple has the money to fund all of this, but to release a car next year still seems very impossible. We don't know the car's name so let’s call it an iCar. (you know why I called it icar?)
There’s a chance that an Apple Car isn’t going to be a vehicle designed and manufactured by Apple, but rather a self-driving system that Apple will provide to carmakers for use in their driverless vehicles.
Apple already makes use of LiDAR tech in their iPhone 12 Pro and has extensive results in computer vision, image signal processing, and smart software — from Siri to the semantic rendering used in modern iPhone cameras. So it's not a big deal to see it take that tech and apply it to a driverless car system.
Again, though, it’s quite a step up from making an iPhone to an iCar ( i mean skateboard to rollercoaster). And many companies that have tried their hand at carmakers have failed.
Vacuum cleaner company Dyson had a got a chance to make an electric car but failed its plans after it found that the car wasn’t commercially viable.
Tesla is the only real hero who managed to enter the automotive world and provide cars at scale, though it’s only started turning in a steady profit this year and late 2019
In short, if an Apple Car is on the road at the end of 2021. But we can't say that 2021 won’t be an interesting year for Apple, as we’re also waiting for the iPhone 13 and upgraded iPads in 2021 — but we don't expect to see the wheel of an Apple-branded car at any press events in the near 2021.
