During the last weeks the future of the project of the apple car seemed absolutely uncertain, after reports began to circulate that pointed to an almost definitive freezing of all lines of work.
All after we’d had a period of wholesale rumors of big car companies, like Hyundai, potentially teaming up with Tim Cook and his signature to give life to a new era focused on competing directly against Tesla Motors.
The technology and automotive industries are not going through their best moment and this seemed to begin to be reflected inside the company of the Cupertino boys who would have implemented important changes to reorder the priority of everything they work on.
In that alteration with many changes it seemed that the project of his electric car, the much rumored Apple Car, would go to the freezer. But now a new report has emerged that seems to point to the resurrection of everything.
An Apple Car with Lamborghini air?
Friends of Bloomberg has released an impressive report stating that the firm led by Tim Cook would just hire Luigi Taraborelli, a former Lamborghini chief designer with more than two decades of experience at the Italian sports car company.
Taraborrelli at the time was responsible for the appearance and shape of the chassis of the automobile firm’s cars. So his legacy has left a deep mark on that brand and now it seems that he could start a new era within Apple.
In theory, the project in its current state would focus more than anything on the development of technology based on a autonomous driving.
So the idea that Apple was going to develop a complete car had been discarded long ago. But now with the signing of this character it seems that the rumors that the company could venture into new fields are revived.
The latest reports suggest that in any case the company could officially present progress on this project until beyond the year 2025.
That would be when we could corroborate or deny those rumors that the Apple Car would not have a steering wheel or pedals.
Something that in fact would already be feasible thanks to the update of the regulatory framework of the NHTSA. Although this class of autonomous technology today has a long way to go.
