The Apple Car will be available in different version up to the luxury modification. Jefferies carried out in parallel with the Apple Watch. Thus, the “iCar” will probably be presented in a more accessible segment.
Analysts believe that a car from Apple will be many times more popular models of the company Tesla, specializing in the production of electric vehicles. They felt that in 2019, when in the salons of the alleged appearance of the Apple Car will be able to sell around 200,000 of these cars.
Tesla, meanwhile, criticized Apple in the automotive industry, describing their work as more complex than what makes the company from Cupertino. In a recent interview, commenting on rumors about Apple poaching “key engineers”, CEO Elon Musk said with irony: “the Key engineers? They hire those we dismissed. We always jokingly called Apple the “graveyard Tesla”. If you’re in a Tesla, then get a job at Apple. I’m not kidding”.
Previously, the newspaper The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple has taken a policy decision to extend car direction and speed up the work on his first model, which should appear in 2019.
To this decision was preceded by more than one-year ROI analysis of the project, the results of which cupertinos enlisted a considerable portion of state support. However, the investments are not talking: for example, the state of California have given their permission for the tests of the prototypes on the roads.
