Apple he would be continuing to work in the shadows on his project for an electric car possibly with higher level autonomous driving. Although there are more indiscretions than actual confirmed news, those complete with a press release so to speak, every now and then unequivocal signals arrive from the management world, with very interesting ad hoc hires.
According to Bloomberg reports, Apple hired the former software director of the Autopilot project, fundamental in the development of the system Tesla for the assisted and autonomous driving. This is the engineer Christopher “CJ” Moore: Will work alongside another former Tesla employee, Stuart Bowers, and former Canoo CEO and former BMW, Ulrich Kranz. The move suggests precisely that the two technicians will not work on the next functions of the iPhone; rather they will focus on Apple’s future car, a project that is of great interest to the entire automotive world but about which very little is known outside.
In fact, the door to the closure of the project is still open, if feasibility is not found. As has happened in the past. Apple has declined any comment on the subject of excellent hiring, hiding behind its usual strict privacy policy. Returning to Moore, however, we are talking about an engineer who has had the opportunity to criticize the same software he worked on: in particular, he said that Musk was overestimating Autopilot’s capabilities. These statements were made during an inquiry linked to an investigation into self-driving cars, conducted by the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
In recent months, Apple has been juxtaposed with several traditional car brands, in terms of partnerships, to create a car that has the characteristics required by the company, but without having to build it with its own plants. In fact, several companies are involved in the race towards Apple that do not intend to enter the auto sector with their brand, but who want to obtain the order to build high-tech cars.
