Apple Appoints Bob Mansfield to Oversee "Project Titan"

According to sources close to the company, and as revealed by The Wall Street Journal, which for a long time was one of Apple's main executive agents, Bob Mansfield, will from now on oversee the ambitious project dubbed "Apple Car"that, it seems, will see the light much later than many of us would like, in 2021.

Bob Mansfield, a former Apple executive who held the position of Senior Vice President of Technologies, among others, retired from the company back in June 2012, although a few months later, returned as executive advisor. Since then, he has been seen from time to time around the Apple campus and has made several public appearances. Nobody knew how to define very well what their role was within the company, until today.

It's no secret that Apple already has time hiring hundreds of engineers from key companies in the sector of the automotive sector such as Tesla, Ford and GM, another others, to be able to shape their acclaimed "Titan Project". From now on, we know the proper name of the coordinator of this ambitious project.

Sketch of the Apple Car, which will take at least until 2021.

Mansfield joined Apple in 1999 and since then, he has been key to the success of the company, supervising the development of the first designs of the MacBook Air, iPhone and iPad. Some even suppose that it had relevance in the design of the Apple Watch. Now, he replaces Steve Zadesky, a senior position who had been involved in the Apple Car project since 2014 and who left the company earlier this year for personal reasons.

We hope that this advance is one of the many that must occur in these years of development in the production of the electric car of the Cupertino company, and that the estimated times that the sources themselves have brought to light are shortened as much as possible.
