I-Bloomberg Agency, enye yezimpikiswano enkulu maqondana nezindaba ezizishicilelayo, isanda kusho ngokususelwa kumahemuhemu nemithombo ehlukile ukuthi i-Apple izobe ilinde ukuqala ukukhiqizwa kwephrojekthi yakhe "eyimfihlo" yemoto kagesi ukuqala ukuyisebenzisa cishe ngo-2020.
I-Apple ibizocindezela abasebenzi abasebenza emotweni ukuthi iyilungele cishe eminyakeni emihlanu, into okusobala ukuthi kungaba yinhlangano yokuncintisana ubuso nobuso namamodeli angayethula IGeneral Motors noma iTesla uqobo ngo-2017.
Ukuthatha ukuthi ukuthuthukiswa okujwayelekile kwemoto kusukela ekuqaleni kwemidwebo yokuqala yephrojekthi ize iqale ukukhiqizwa futhi ekugcineni iyathengiswa, kuvame ukwenziwa ubude besikhathi seminyaka okungenani emihlanu kuya kweyisikhombisa, uhlala ucabanga ukuthi ayikho imodeli eyisisekelo yangaphambilini lapho imodeli entsha isuselwa kuyo, kepha ukuqala iphrojekthi uqobo kusuka ekuqaleni.
Okwamanje, uma i-Apple izibekela inhloso yokuncintisana nalezi zinkampani, kufanele okungenani ifinyelele ebangeni lamakhilomitha angama-320 nokuthi intengo yayo ingaphezu kwama-euro angama-35.000 ngaphandle kokweqa lo mkhawulo kunoma yikuphi. Ngigcizelela kakhulu leli phuzu ngoba uma ufuna ngempela ukuncintisana nama "giants" alo mkhakha, kufanele kube umhlahlandlela wokulandela yize njengoba sonke sazi, iApple akuvamisile ukuthi kubuswe imihlahlandlela okushiwo yimakethe ngaphandle kokuthi ayikho enye indlela.
Okwamanje ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule, inkampani iqashe abasebenzi ezinkampanini ezibandakanya iTesla, Ford, GM, A123 Systems, MIT Motorsports, Ogin, Autoliv, Concept Systems, neGeneral Dynamics. Noma kunjalo kusesemoyeni kakhulu futhi kusengumsebenzi wokuhlola Ngokusho kweminye imithombo, ngakho-ke uma intuthuko ingekho ezingeni, i-Apple nakanjani ingayishiya.
