To date, the tech giant has been very secretive about it’s efforts to build a self-driving car, codenamed Project Titan. Apple has been working on Project Titan for several years but has never formally acknowledged it. Lately, the autonomous car project seems to be in flux. Recent reports suggests that the company is no longer attempting to build its own autonomous, electric car to compete with companies like Tesla, but is instead focused on developing self-driving software it can deploy in partnership with existing carmakers.
