Elon Musk - Apple Is Making An Electric Car

[StamatisX]

Tesla's owner, Elon Musk, said during an exclusive interview with the BBC at his design studio near Los Angeles that it is an "open secret" Apple is making a rival electric car.

 

He also predicted vehicles that could not drive themselves would become a "strange anachronism" before too long.

 

An added challenge is that over recent months several of its engineers have been hired by rivals, including China-backed Faraday Future and Apple.

Apple has not formally announced it is working on a vehicle, although it did recently register several automobile-related internet domains, including apple.car and apple.auto.

 

 

 

 

 

Mr Musk outlined a vision of a future where all cars would be electric and autonomous, and driving yourself would become a hobby rather than a necessity.

 

In recent months, its Autopilot feature has given the car a number of autonomous driving features:

• keeping in lane
• adjusting its speed as other cars cut in
• changing lane without the driver needing to intervene

 

Last weekend, it gained a new "beta" feature that allows owners to summon their car with their smartphone.

At both last week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and this week's Detroit Motor Show, a number of other car makers have shown off innovations in electric vehicles and automated driving.

Tesla is still benchmark in Electric vehicles. But other car makers are catching up very quickly. I wonder if Tesla is still an independent company by 2030.
