And is that when at the beginning of the year we broke the news that Apple were taking very seriously the addition of cars and drivers to the autonomous driving project, we did not think they would come to double the number of vehicles and drivers to further advance investigations and road tests.
As of today, Apple already has 66 cars registered and a total of 111 drivers for their autonomous vehicles. It is therefore about himto third company in the ranking with the most vehicles and drivers in all of California. Last May the company had about 55 vehicles registered for these tests and today there are 66, which is a good handful of registrations in just a couple of months.
The Titan project always a secret
It is true that we have figures on the number of cars they have, of the drivers and we can even see the areas through which this type of autonomous driving vehicles usually circulate, but today little or nothing is known about the software they are using for these tests at Apple.
From the beginning it was said that this was a project to create our own autonomous car and we were on the wrong track, then it was learned by Apple itself that what they were investigating was "free" software for this type of autonomous vehicles And it is that it could be used in any car upon payment to Apple, but what about the software? We have nothing clear if it is a new software, it works on the basis of Apple Maps or on any type of map application ...
Let's see if before the end of this year we can have official company data on the software in particular and there are many doubts about it. For now we have to settle for seeing how the fleet of vehicles and drivers grows, and with the photos and videos that some users upload to the network of the cars themselves circulating on the streets of California.
