Back in 2015, a bunch of rumors about an Apple-branded Smart Car hit the tech industry. In 2018, we heard news that Apple was teaming up with VW. Not much materialized there, but there seemed to be some substance to the earlier rumors, and many analysts predicted an Apple car would arrive by 2024. Since then… the rumor mills have gone pretty quiet.
However, in the last week or so, they’ve fired up again. The details are pretty sketchy but reportedly Apple has plans to get a vehicle on the street in 2024. There are conflicting reports on whether it will include self-driving technology or simply be battery powered, but all signs point to an Apple car at some point.
