There may be several reasons that have led Apple to drive fewer miles with its autonomous cars in 2019, but the truth is that Apple's autonomous vehicle testing program experienced a significant reduction with 72,201 miles (about 116.000 km) less than last 2018.
The figures are significant and it is that of the 69 vehicles that Apple had registered with the California Department of Motor Vehicles, only 23 were constantly active between December 2018 and November 2019.
Maybe they already have everything ready?
Apple has been testing this for many years Lexus RX450h SUV fleet modified with your software, so testing may be coming to an end for various reasons and we cannot rule out any. Could it be that they are already at the top of progress? This could be an answer to what started as "Project Titan" but the reason is not entirely clear so do not throw false hopes.
Seeing the Apple software implemented in autonomous vehicles may be a matter of time, what is really unknown is whether or not this will eventually reach vehicles. In any case, the reduction of the tests is evident in terms of km traveled and the conservative measure may be due to several reasons. Apple already reduced testing at the end of 2016 After several problems and subsequently the number of kilometers increased, now they are again lower in 2019, we will see what happens this year.
