According to Bloomberg News, according to informed sources, as Apple abandoned its plan to develop its own car, 17 auto engineers who participated in the Apple car project Project TItan have left the company and joined the autopilot startup Zoox.
The main job of the 17 engineers is to design brakes and suspension systems used in both traditional and autonomous vehicles, many of which are from the Detroit autopilot industry, specializing in the design of traditional and autonomous vehicles. Accessories. Earlier this year, Project TItan project leader Steve Zadesky left Apple. Prior to joining Apple, Zadesky worked for Ford as an engineer. He is responsible for more than 600 Project TItan project teams.
Earlier, the New York Times reported that with the progress of the plan, Apple's auto-driving program TItan has greatly expanded in cost and number of people, and Apple has gradually promoted its ambition in the car. Later, Bloomberg also reported that hundreds of engineers were dismissed by Apple, or rescheduled work, or chose to leave, and the autopilot project was decided at the time to prove the feasibility of the system by the end of 2017, and decided the final direction.
In June of this year, Apple CEO Tim Cook mentioned that Apple values ​​autopilot technology and believes that autonomous driving is the most important AI project. At present, the goal of Apple Autopilot R&D is to create a technology similar to Google Waymo and Uber, which only develops autopilot software, not electric cars.
The latest batch of engineers leaving Apple to join Zoox shows that Apple is unlikely to want to build its own car. It is said that these engineers have found that they have been marginalized in Apple, are superfluous to Apple's current needs, and have been hired by startups in batches in recent months. In the past two years, Zoox has also hired a lot of supply chain experts from Apple.
According to public sources, Zoox is a startup that develops autonomous driving technology and has received $290 million in financing, valued at more than $1 billion. Zoox plans to implement fully automated taxis by 2020. Their vision was to create a sleek, modern luxury electric taxi with a gull-wing door, and four passengers in the car sat face to face. In terms of design, it is very different from the competition. This kind of car can drive in both directions, and the effect is just as good. In addition, there is no windshield on the front and back, nor the steering wheel and brakes.
Zoox is developing an autonomous driving team. The company has also recruited a number of well-known individuals to join themselves, such as hiring Mark Rosekind, former head of the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, as the chief safety innovator, and hiring former Ferrari executive Corrado Lanzone.
