Neighbors close to the research center that Apple has in Sunnyvale In order to carry out tests around the supposed Apple Car, last year they reported the noise from these facilities to the municipal authorities. We now know that Apple is carrying out a number of refurbishment and renovation works on the property including a vehicle repair shop and a new test area.
The funny thing is that the complaint was not made against construction noises, but for engine noises late at night, a symptom that shows that Apple wants to hide (without much luck) the tests with vehicles that it is carrying out carried out in this center, since if we take a piece of information for example, the rental of the property was signed by a company called SistyEight Research, clearly a front company with which they try to hide your activities.
It seems that the tests that are done with the engines after 23:00 are seriously disturbing the neighbors who cannot rest even with the windows closed. Beyond the anecdote, Apple is taking this project seriously since the rented property on 175th street comprises a piece of land equivalent to seven buildings, that is, approximately 28.000 square meters of land, one of the largest complexes in the city.
Although everything raises suspicions in the evolution and development of a vehicle by Apple, it is not known exactly whether it is tests in the advancement of the CarPlay platform or they are something bigger. Last year, permission was given for a security fence of just over three meters high to be installed around it, ensuring the privacy of what takes place inside the center.
All these "special" permissions were requested by Apple, both building the fence as the activities that would take place inside, so it is completely confirmed who is behind all this secrecy no matter how much they want to hide it.
