er the shows connected, Apple will he engage in autonomous electric car? According to Bloomberg, which corroborates the statements of the Wall Street Journal , this is no doubt and the company would even have a schedule for the start of production of "Apple Car" would be set for 2020. It must be said that this secret was increasingly difficult to maintain because Apple debauchery aggressively all the experts he can find, and this for several months.


The US company A123, which creates batteries for electric cars, just to complain after the departure of many of its best engineers. They left Apple to work on similar projects, which goes against their non-compete clauses. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, also complained of Apple's behavior, which would offer its engineers magical financial conditions, with the key to an arrival bonus of $ 250,000 and an increase of 60% salary. Hard to say no in these cases. Reuters has identified 60 engineers who recently switched from Tesla to Apple, and that in all areas: hardware, software, supply, production, etc. According to Bloomberg, the new car division of the computer manufacturer has approximately 200 people to date.

A first look test vehicle?

Five years to create a car from scratch, it may seem short. Among car manufacturers, production cycles are more around seven years. But the story of Tesla shows that it is feasible. Founded in 2003, the company introduced its first model in 2006, the Tesla 100. It was first available in small quantities. The general production started in 2008. But with a war chest of $ 178 billion, Apple certainly has more financial resources than Tesla at the time. 

It will therefore be able to gum!
Our colleagues from Apple Insider have also seen one of the first Apple test vehicles: a minivan Dodge brand, with a lot of collectors on the roof. But we do not yet know if it is an autonomous vehicle or a car that takes the streets of clichés to offer one day a function similar to Street View in Apple Maps.
