Ngenkathi kubonakala sengathi yonke into isendleleni ye-Apple eneHyundai yokwenza i-Apple Car, ukungabi nokuqonda kwemizuzwana zonakalisa izinhlelo. Abahlaziyi abaningi bazibuza ngubani manje owayezobamba inkunzi ngezimpondo futhi babembalwa ababengenele ukhetho. AbakwaNissan bavolontiya kodwa ngokusobala izingxoxo zibe zifushane futhi kabazange baphumelele. Khonamanjalo iVolkswagen ibheke phezulu naphansi kwesihlalo sayo sobukhosi futhi ayikhathazeki ngekusasa le-Apple Car.
Ngemuva kokwehluleka kwezingxoxo nabakwaHyundai, UNissan unikele ukuba nguyena ozosiza inkampani ukwakha imoto yayo kagesi. Kodwa-ke, abahlaziyi be Izikhathi Zezezimali zisho ukuthi izingxoxo phakathi kwalezi zinkampani zombili zibe zesikhashana futhi bengakafiki esivumelwaneni esingenzeka ngoba akekho kubo.
U-Apple welule isandla kwaNissan ezinyangeni ezedlule ukukhuthaza ukubambisana kwephrojekthi yemoto kagesi ezimele. Noma kunjalo izingxoxo azisasebenzi. Oxhumana naye ubemfishane futhi izingxoxo aziqhubekelanga emazingeni okuphatha aphezulu.
Ngenxa yalezi zindaba, amasheya akwaNissan ehle ngo-3,7% emakethe yamasheya. Kubukeka sengathi ubumbano phakathi kuka-Apple nabakhiqizi bezimoto lokukhiqizwa kwe-Apple Car ngeke lube lula, olubizwa ngokuthi yinto emisha yangempela emkhakheni wezimoto. Kepha abanye abakhiqizi abakhathazeki kakhulu ngalokho. Ngokwesibonelo IVolkswagen ithe akukho ukwesaba ukuze inkampani yezobuchwepheshe yethule imodeli yayo yezimoto emakethe.
Umenzi waseJalimane ngoDiess, i-CEO yeVW, uthe:
Yize izinhlelo zika-Apple zingekho emphakathini, izinhloso zabo zazinengqondo ngoba le nkampani yayinolwazi ngamabhethri, isoftware nokwakhiwa kwayo, futhi inebhajethi yokuzisebenzisa. Asesabi. Imboni yezimoto akuyona ingxenye ejwayelekile yezobuchwepheshe lapho ungathatha ukulawula ngokushaya okukodwa.
