Apple scraps decade-long self-driving car project after leadership changes and software struggles
• Apple spent over $10 billion and a decade on its secretive self-driving car project, code-named Titan, which was scrapped this week
• The project was plagued by leadership changes, shifting visions between an electric vehicle rivaling Tesla or a self-driving car rivaling Waymo, and multiple layoffs
• Apple struggled to develop the complex software and algorithms needed for autonomous driving capabilities
• The project started as an electric vehicle, then pursued self-driving abilities to compete with Google, before reverting back to an electric vehicle focusing on driver assist features
• Apple's failure highlights the company's challenges in developing new products since Steve Jobs' passing and the immense difficulty in making self-driving car software
