El Iphrojekthi ye-Apple Car Ishintshwe izikhathi eziningana phakathi neminyaka embalwa edlule. Lokhu kungenxa yezinkinga ezahlukene zobuholi nezingxabano zangaphakathi. Naphezu kwakho konke, ukuthuthukiswa kwale phrojekthi ye-titanic kusendleleni efanele. Noma kunjalo, izinyathelo zokuqala ekudalweni kwemoto ye-Apple zavela ngo-2016.
Ngo-2014, i-Apple yaqala ukusebenza "Iphrojekthi yeTitan«, nonjiniyela abangaphezu kwenkulungwane nochwepheshe bezimoto abebethuthukisa a imoto kagesi ngasese ekomkhulu lenkampani eCupertino. Ngale ndlela enzima, i-Apple yabeka eceleni izinhlelo zokuthengisa imoto ngo-2020 futhi manje isiqale kabusha le phrojekthi ethokozisayo futhi.
I-Apple Car njengemoto ezimele ngokugcwele
Manje i-Apple inamahemuhemu okuthi izosebenza ku-a imoto ezimele ngokugcwele lokho ngeke kudinge ukungenelela komsebenzisi ukuze ikwazi ukushayelwa. Lesi sinyathelo silindele ikusasa lezimoto futhi sibeka i-Apple Car ngaphambi kwanoma yimuphi omunye umenzi wezimoto kuze kube manje. Kuwumsebenzi wokuvelela kakhulu, futhi amahlebezi akhombisa ukuthi i-Apple ifuna ukuklama imoto ngaphandle kwesondo lokuqondisa noma ama-pedals.
UKevin Lynch, owaziwa ngomsebenzi wakhe ku-Apple Watch, naye usejoyine ithimba le-Apple Car futhi kuthiwa ungomunye walabo abanesibopho sokuphusha kuka-Apple ekushayeleni ngokuzenzakalelayo. Leli thimba liholwa nguJohn Giannandrea, othatha izintambo zale phrojekthi njengenhloko yezobunhloli bokwenziwa ye-Apple nokufunda ngomshini. Lokhu kuwubufakazi obanele bokuthi bayithatha ngokungathi sína iphrojekthi ye-Apple Car, bebeka omunye wabaphathi babo ababaluleke kakhulu njengomuntu ophethe.
Phakathi kwezinto ezithuthukisiwe, sekuvele kukhona umklamo we-chip enamandla kakhulu futhi esebenza kahle, eqondene ngqo ne-Apple Car ukuze isebenze.Le chip ingenye yezingxenye ezithuthuke kakhulu i-Apple esezakhiwe kuze kube manje. Yakhelwe kuma-neural processors anganika amandla ukulayisha okukhokhelwayo kwe-AI (Artificial Intelligence) edingekayo ezimotweni ezizimele zesikhathi esizayo. I-TSMC kulindeleke ukuthi iqale ukukhiqiza i-chip, futhi lokhu akuyona inselele kule nkampani, ngoba yinkampani efanayo eyenza ama-chips e-iPhone, i-iPad ne-Mac.
Ukukhiqizwa kwe-Apple Car
Nakuba, i isipiliyoni sokukhiqiza izimoto ingenye enkulu ubuthakathaka yalesi sikhondlakhondla sezobuchwepheshe. Ngenxa yalokhu, i-Apple ngokuqinisekile izoba nayo ozakwethu abanolwazi olunzulu emkhakheni, ukuzama ukugwema ukudumala okukhiqiza izigidi zokulahlekelwa. Phakathi kwalaba ozakwethu, maningi amathuba okwenziwa kwezingxenye noma inhlanganisela yobuchwepheshe bobunikazi nozakwethu abanolwazi olunzulu lokukhiqiza izimoto. Enye yezinhloso zabo ezinkulu ukuthi bazodinga ozakwethu ukuze bakhiqize imoto. Ngalesi sizathu, kuthiwa i-Apple isebenza ukuvikela ubudlelwano embonini yezimoto. Okwamanje akwaziwa ngokuqinisekile ukuthi i-Apple izosebenzisana nobani, kodwa izingxoxo sezivele zibanjiwe nezinkampani ezibalulekile Hyundai o Panasonic.
Iminyaka eminingi, i-Apple Car ikhonjwa njengomkhiqizo wesikhathi esizayo we-Apple. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi izinkampani eziningi zisebhange umjaho wezobuchwepheshe ukwakha izimoto zikagesi ezivumelana nokungena kokusebenza komthetho we ukuguqulwa kwamandla. Lokhu kungenzeka sibonga ukuthuthukiswa Intelligence yokufakelwa ekwazi ukunikeza okungcono ukusebenza nokusebenza kahle kwamandla wezimoto zesikhathi esizayo. Into eyodwa eqinisekile ukuthi i-Apple Car izoba nobuchwepheshe obungcono kakhulu bokuhlanganisa ihadiwe, isoftware kanye nezinsizakalo kunabanye abangase bancintisane nabo emakethe yezimoto. Kungenzeka ukuthi i-Apple Car ingaba thengisa ngonyaka ka-2025 njengemodeli esezingeni eliphezulu egqamayo uma iqhathaniswa nezimoto zikagesi ezisezingeni elijwayelekile.
