In 20 16, Tesla CEO Musk broke the news that Apple had launched a car-making project called Titan. At the same time, he also said that a large number of talents related to electric vehicles have been poached by Apple, and it is impossible to only produce mobile phones.
Starting from 20 17, the focus of Apple's "building a car" began to shift to "autonomous driving". Also in this year, Cook publicly acknowledged the fact that Apple is developing autonomous driving technology. At the same time, Apple announced that the patented technology related to automobiles is also increasing year by year.
Judging from the patented technology announced by Apple, it mainly involves vehicle shape design, in-vehicle cockpit and autonomous driving technology.

In the self-driving link, Apple has applied for two patents of neural network control for self-driving cars. This technology can be used for multi-task output, including lane change, pedestrian observation, motion control and so on. You know, Apple has already applied artificial intelligence to its mobile phones, tablets and other devices.
In a self-driving car, passengers only need to combine gestures and voice to park their cars in the corresponding position. If the position accuracy is not good, you can also use the virtual joystick of iPhone for fine adjustment.
