Apple Ends Decade-Long, $1B Per Year Apple Car Project Due to Complexities of Fully Autonomous Vehicle
- Apple developed a custom chip for its Apple Car project equivalent to 4 M2 Ultra chips combined
- The chip was "nearly finished" before the project was discontinued after 10 years
- Apple Car was meant to have an advanced autonomous driving system powered by the chip
- Over 10 years Apple tried different ideas and prototypes, negotiating with automakers
- Building a fully autonomous car proved too complicated so Apple ended the $1B a year project
