Apple Cancels Its Decade-Long Electric Car Project

Feb. 28, 2024

Apple has canceled its electric car project after a decade-long, multi-billion-dollar effort to rival Tesla,reports Bloomberg.This is a shocking move because it marks the end of Apple’s Project Titan, which was the company’s most ambitious project in history.

Nearly 2000 employees were working on the project, and they were left stunned by this announcement. As the company decided to shut down the project, some employees will be moved to Apple’s Generative AI team which is led by John Giannandrea.

However, this offer won’t be given to all the employees who have been working on the Apple Car project. Some employees might be asked to “apply for jobs on other Apple teams,” and unfortunately, there will be some layoffs as well,Bloombergsays. At the moment, it’s not clear how many lay-offs will happen.
