Report: Apple Plans to ‘Ship’ Some Sort of Car By 2019

Apple will formalize what kind of car it may produce (or have already produced) by 2019, the Wall Street Journal reported.

According to the report, the Cupertino, California-based company has labeled the car a “committed project” but stopped short of saying that the car would be delivered to consumers by 2019. The report only indicates that the car could be ready for consumers, finalized or conceptualized by engineers by 2019.

If all this seems vague, consider that most of the project’s executives have essentially vanished into witness relocation after joining Apple to work on the car.

The report indicates that Apple’s first venture may not be a fully autonomous vehicle.

It was rumored that the car project could be named “Titan” although insiders say that could also be the name for Apple’s mapping program.

Last month, Tesla engineer Jamie Carlson was recruited to work on the secret program. In July, former Chrysler VP Doug Betts began work at the company, according to his LinkedIn page. These people could also be working in the mail room.
