The Apple Car might hit the road a lot sooner than some experts predicted, according to a new report that claims the iPhone-maker plans to rev up hiring on its secret electric car project in hopes of getting the vehicle finalized by 2019.
The company Apple met with officials at California’s Department of Motor Vehicles to discuss the testing of self-driving Apple Car on public roads.
If Apple applies for the necessary road permits, it will have to reveal the make, model and vehicle identification number of the cars it plans to test — as well as sharing details about the automobiles' autonomous features and abilities, and naming any test drivers it plans to use.
The electric car project has been designated internally as a "committed project" which means Apple’s taking its entrance into the automobile industry very seriously, but it could still the pull the plug if the project doesn’t go as well as hoped.
