\nWhy you can trust Pocket-lint (Pocket-lint) – Apple has reportedly done \u00ab\u00a0much of the core work\u00a0\u00bb needed on a new processor that will power a future autonomous electric car. The car is being developed by Apple as part of a secretive project internally called Titan. According to Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman, since Apple’s silicon team is nearly finished working on the car’s processor, the company’s target for debuting the autonomous EV can be moved up to just four years from now. Gurman described the chip as the \u00ab\u00a0most advanced component\u00a0\u00bb it’s made for the project to date. The company is planning to test the chip in its fleet of test vehicles in California and ultimately aims to provide \u00ab\u00a0stronger safeguards than what\u2019s available from Tesla and Waymo\u00a0\u00bb, according to the report. Project Titan, otherwise referred to as Apple Car, has evolved quite a bit over the past several years. Currently, Apple is thought to be designing an autonomous car without a steering wheel. The interior is roomy, complete with a large, iPad-style touchscreen display that runs an iOS-like user interface. Future electric cars: Upcoming battery-powered cars that will be on the roads within the next 5 years By Chris Hall \u00b7 19 November 2021 Ideally, the car will be sold to consumers – or that’s the \u00ab\u00a0more likely scenario\u00a0\u00bb, Gurman reports. Apple wants to make the vehicle compatible with the combined charging system standard, so it can use most public fast-charging stations.
