A series of departures, the cessation of collaborative projects, and the dissolution of the team are correctApplesCarsDoubts arose about the future of the project.
In 2020, foreign media broke out for the first timeApplesCarsNews of facing a difficult situation. According to reportsApplesofCarsThe project registered 69 testbeds, but only 23 are still active. This indicates that the project has lost its momentum and that the proportion of project staff has been significantly reduced. In 2021, even more disappointing news came outApplesNegotiations with Hyundai were put on hold, and the originally planned joint productionCarsThe project was also canceled. At the same time,ApplesCarsThe project's top management has also left, further fueling concerns about the project's future.
However, in 2022,ApplesCarsThe team was regrouped and some work was restarted, giving a glimmer of hope. Despite the many setbacks that the project has suffered, butApplesStill not giving up, but hoping to be able to give up all my hand to get the project back on track. AlthoughApplesCarsThe launch came two years later than expected, but so did this tweakApplesA kind of high-level understanding and response to reality.
ApplesThe original goal was to develop an L4 classSelf-driving cars, i.e. no human intervention is required in a specific driving mode. However,CookandApplesExecutives are gradually realizing that to:ApplesCurrent capabilities and resources to achieve an L4 level that does not require human intervention at allSelf-driving carsIt's not realistic. Therefore, they decided to downgrade the target to Level 2, i.e. partially automated driving in a specific driving mode.
This decision is notApplesRather than abandoning autonomous driving technology, we have a clear understanding of reality. At the moment, the vast majorityNew energy vehiclesThe highest level can only reach L2 to L3, soApplesWe want to make sure we can launch our products with achievable goals. ApplesLaunching in 2028New energy vehiclesIt will be a competitive product in the industry.
AlthoughApplesCarsThe launch came two years later than expected, but that didn't hurtApplesInNew energy vehiclesProspects for the field.

ApplesCarsThe adjustment of the project and the downgrading of the target are not only due to the difficulties and challenges encountered by the project, but also a sober understanding of the reality. As an innovation leader,ApplesAlways focus on technology and user experience, and strive to bring better products and services to users. In the field of autonomous driving, the technology is mature andReliabilityis very critical, thereforeApplesLowering the target and focusing on Level 2 autonomous driving technology is a smart decision.
From a personal point of view,ApplesInNew energy vehiclesThe entry into the field will have a positive impact on the entire industry.
