Once again, the project that the technology giant, Apple, has to give the green light to its first autonomous vehicle is postponed. Everything seems to indicate that the new arrival date will be in 2026 due to the “adjustments” in terms of autonomy that they originally intended.
And it is that The Titan project, as it is known, contemplated not using a steering wheel or pedals, which is why it complicated the panorama in legislative matters in the United Stateswhere we remember that some advanced models of this type, such as Tesla’s (not so much anymore), use autonomous technologies but always having both the steering wheel and pedals as the guiding axis, in case of any eventuality.
In the meantime, Apple does not take its finger off the line with the high-tech application for this vehicle, which, by the way, will have a chip called Apple Siliconwhich, according to Apple, will have the power equivalent to four chips in the most powerful Macs, and would be in charge of managing the artificial intelligence of the aforementioned autonomous system, maintaining the principles of tranquility, fun and rest for the occupants.
Some sources point out that even the costs would have dropped from $120,000 to $100,000.; a BMW iX M60 costs $108,900, for example.
Another rumor is that Apple probably does not have the final design ready and even the model is in the pre-development phase, which has made it difficult to partner with some brands that have well-developed electrical architectures such as Hyundai, Kia, Nissan or Toyota. matter of waiting
