A representative for the South Korean company on Friday confirmed the news—first reported by The Korea Economic Daily, which tipped a 2027 release date. “We understand that Apple is in discussion with a variety of global automakers, including Hyundai Motor,” the firm said. “As the discussion is at its early stage, nothing has been decided.” A follow-up statement removes any mention of Apple, saying only that “We’ve been receiving requests of potential cooperation from diverse companies regarding development of autonomous driving EVs, but no decisions have been made as discussions are in early stage.
