Apple Car rumors began resurfacing late last year. Suddenly, Apple’s purported plans to launch an autonomous electric vehicle of its own design were featured in an increasing number of leaks. They detailed the company’s intention to partner with an established force in the industry, with Hyundai-Kia being the frontrunner for the imminent Apple Car deal. Following the leaks, talks reportedly reached a hiatus, and other potential Apple partners appeared. Sources claimed Apple was interested in designing its own vehicle rather than using an existing EV platform, and creating the software to power the self-driving experience. Reports also indicated that Apple was researching battery technology innovations that would increase the range of its electric cars. Official announcements are ages away, as the company rarely introduces new products before they’re ready to launch, and the Apple Car won’t launch before 2024. Apple isn’t the only smartphone maker looking to build electric cars.
