Apple's Secret Self-Driving Car Project Focused on Spacious, Futuristic Designs Before Being Scrapped
- Apple's self-driving car designs focused on maximizing interior space like a private jet, with seats that could shift between chairs, recliners, and foot rests
- The main design resembled the Canoo Lifestyle Vehicle - a rounded futuristic van with dark black windows
- Another design was nearly identical to the 2017 Volkswagen ID Buzz concept
- Earlier versions looked like modern reincarnations of the 1950s Volkswagen microbus, code-named "Bread Loaf"
- Apple moved from designs without steering wheels to more traditional layouts before ultimately scrapping the project after roughly a decade
