The Apple Car still has a ways to go before being available to consumers, says a new report. However, the vehicle from Cupertino cou;d still hit the road sometime before the decade is up.
In the “Power On” newsletter for Bloomberg, Mark Gurman said while it is thought that an Apple Car is still years out, it could still make an appearance sometime before 2030.
Gurman declares “A car is still a ways out.” More specifically, Apple is said to not expected to “ship anything until later in the decade” for the project.
In August, Apple industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo tweeted (X’ed?) about the status of Apple’s work on its much-rumored Apple Car, saying the project had “lost all visibility.” He also said that he doubted “that the Apple Car can go into mass production within the next years.”
Many observers have expected Apple to begin testing its vehicle in 2025, with the vehicle becoming available to the public as early as 2026. However, with just a few months to go until we enter 2024, that timeline seems overly optimistic.
Apple is focusing on other products at this time, with the upcoming Apple Vision Pro appearing to be the main focus of Apple’s development teams.
Apple has not yet put a deal in place with an Apple Car manufacturing partner, so the idea that we won’t see an Apple Car anytime in the next few years seems like a safe bet.
