New setback for the future Apple Car. One of its main bastions leaves the project

Apple Car

The Apple Car news keeps coming. It is not surprising. It is probably the company's largest project. We are talking about launching a 100% electric and fully autonomous vehicle. It is because of that security patents are essential at this point even more so than conversations with companies that can bring their production to fruition. The personnel that is in charge of this creation is important and the setback that has just suffered all its production is very important. Benjamin Lyon leaves the project.

When the Apple Car project began in 2014, at that time called Project Titan, one of his key men it was Benjamin Lyon. Until today it has remained one of the pillars of production, ideas and development. However it seems that not everything lasts forever. At this very moment, when you have spoken with different companies for the production of the car and they have been ruled out, for various reasons, all of them, it seems that things could not get worse. However, no one could expect this news.

Benjamin Lyon helped form Apple's original autonomous electric car team in 2014 as its top manager working in the sensors section. He remained on the team through its various reboots over the years, most recently leading a team that specializes in autonomous car sensors and reported directly to Doug Field, Apple's vice president in charge of the car project.

According to a report from Bloomberg, Lyon has his sights set a little further than the ground. Specifically in space and he will dedicate himself to work for the company that manufactures the Astra satellites. A big loss for Apple and a big acquisition for Astra. We will see if the apple company recovers from this decline.
