March 6th, 2019

It’s been a wild few days for Tesla.

Apple’s self-driving car technology was just ranked dead last in a new DMV report

February 13th, 2019

Yoni Heisler

For a company that tends to value keeping upcoming products and services under wraps, Apple’s interest in self-driving car technology is far from a well-kept secret. Quite the contrary, Apple CEO Tim Cook about a year and a half ago took the somewhat rare step of confirming Apple’s interest in developing autonomous systems for cars. …
