FlowBank's hand-curated fresh financial news [header_noDither] Apple Parks Electric Car Project, Turns to Future Tech Horizons. Apple is reportedly winding down its Special Projects Group, which was working on electric cars, marking the end of its secretive initiative to compete with Tesla in the automotive industry. Despite employing thousands and sparking intrigue since 2014 with its recruitment of automotive experts and autonomous vehicle testing in San Francisco, the project struggled to align with Apple's core electronics and services business. While some employees from this division may transition to Apple's generative AI team, the company continues to focus on other ventures, such as its CarPlay software, health technologies, and the newly released Vision Pro VR headset. Apple's R&D spending reached $30 billion in 2023, reflecting its broad investment in innovation despite not publicly acknowledging the car project.
