From 110 previously registered drivers, it has risen to 143 in the last report sent by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). This suggests that Apple is taking autonomous vehicle testing seriously and we have been seeing news and news about it for months.
It is true that the summer news in our country was related to the Apple Maps cars that could be seen in Spain and obviously other countries of the European Union, but in the last 4 months the signature of Cupertino increased by 33 the list of certified drivers for these autonomous vehicles.
Regulatory bodies are counting the teams that work on this type of vehicle or tests with autonomous vehicles from its inception and in 9to5Mac has shown the number of autonomous cars and the figure has not moved with the 69 vehicles registered by Apple. But in the case of drivers there are news in recent months.
The news of hiring Steve MacManus, at the end of last July is not at all a novelty in the Cupertino company and is that they have been with similar hires for several months, although it is true that they are not as important as that of this vice president engineering firm who is now part of Apple's staff. In any case, what we are very clear about is that Apple is still investigating and betting on this software for autonomous vehicles, so we hope to have more news in the coming months.
