"Apple Is Said to Be Rethinking Strategy on Self-Driving Cars."
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/1…"The job cuts are the latest sign of trouble with Apple’s car initiative. The company has added resources to the project — code-named Titan — over the last two years, but it has struggled to make progress. And in July, the company brought in Bob Mansfield, a highly regarded Apple veteran, to take over the effort."
- No car for you! This project is going to end up as an apple watch extension.zarkonite
- Yet, Apple has never disclosed their strategy on the project, instead keeping it in near total secrecy in every way imaginable.monospaced
- Apple hasn't had a secret in years, we knew everything about the iPhone 7 before it was out. They never got a car out, or built a track.zarkonite
- So how is it changing if, by everything we know, there was never a car, a track or a plan? All we know is they've dumped tons of cash and new talent on itmonospaced
- They tried, failed and pivoted. Now let's see if they can do anything at all.zarkonite
- also, according to you "@zark, people have seen things, it's been reported for over a year, and that's why it's on the news still"
So that's what's up...zarkonite - Yes, they have a project going on related to cars. But, their strategy has never been released, so it's really not possible to say if it's being revised.monospaced
- According to YOU, they failed to get a car out or build a track, despite there being reports of both.monospaced
- How you can say they have tried and failed already is funny, considering there's no indication of that, or the opposite.monospaced
- They're firing people and bringing a new head, you don't understand how making products work if you see no indications of that or the opposite.zarkonite
- They brought in a new head because the previous one had to leave for personal reasons. Nothing else is even verifiable, ffsmonospaced
- "their strategy has never been released, so it's really not possible to say if it's being revised." Personal reasons? c'mon...zarkonite
- Yeah, personal reasons. Apple VP of Product Design Steve Zadesky, quit a couple months ago. Google it.monospaced
- He quit, a new guy took his place, naturally. They still haven't released any hint of their actual strategy in any way or form. Not sure why you're arguing thatmonospaced
- If you're implying they fired him, then you're flat out wrong. If you think him leaving is a sign of their plan, then you're just reaching like stock analysts.monospaced
