New details about the Apple Car have appeared on the Web. According to the source, the Cupertino giant is cooperating with a South Korean company that assembles, packages and tests chips as part of the project. In this case, we are talking about a chip responsible for the functions of an autopilot or driver assistance system.

Don’t expect an Apple car in the coming years.  The company next year will only receive ready-made chips for automotive autopilot functions.

The South Korean firm has been working on a chip that controls an autopilot function very similar to those used by Tesla, the sources said. Such chips that control AI calculations typically combine a neural processor, CPU, GPU, memory, as well as camera interfaces.

This project started last year and is expected to be completed next year. That is, we will not see any Apple machine yet, despite some rumors. According to the latest rumors, in 2025 Foxconn will only launch an assembly line for the Apple Car, and it is not yet clear whether this applies to mass production or only test production.
