    Apple: Project Titan Far From Dead.

    Summary:

    Apple has acknowledged its work on autonomous vehicles publicly for the first time.

    Despite rumors of being canceled or at least scaled back, Project Titan appears to be moving forward.

    Apple is betting on autonomous driving capability to provide a crucial advantage over competing EVs.

    Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has sent a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) acknowledging that it is working on self-driving cars. The letter requests that NHTSA facilitate testing of self-driving development vehicles on public roads, as well as provide standards for data sharing and privacy. When Apple starts talking privacy, you know they're serious.
