Apple failed to build a car? Ten years of investing billions ended in defeat to Chinese companies

Apple has always had great hopes for the manufacture of automobiles. Not only do they want to make cars, but they also want to make driverless vehicles. However, this rather ambitious plan has been suspected of "going out", mainly because of the twists and turns, which will not be explained here. However, this suspicion has not stopped, and there are even people who suspect that their car manufacturing project has "stalled".

Because, Apple officially said that they will completely abandon the research and development of unmanned vehicles, and change the original research and development direction to a driving-based assistance system. At the same time, electric vehicles will be available in 2028, which is also two years after the initial launch.

To be honest, it has been almost ten years since 2014. To this end, they spent tens of billions of dollars, bought a driverless company, and conducted in-depth research on the research and development of driverless, but when they learned that Apple had once again postponed the production of driverless, everyone was disappointed.

What's more, more people in the industry feel that it took Apple ten years to build a car, and as a result, Xiaomi only took three years to build the car. In the auto manufacturing industry, Apple is clearly losing out to Chinese companies. But the author feels that there is nothing to be ashamed of when Chinese companies "lose".

First of all, every company has different requirements. Xiaomi may want to make a car manufacturing result as soon as possible to block those rumors. What's more, Lei Jun also made a plan, that is, within five years, he may lose money. Frankly speaking, Xiaomi's current sedan is not aimed at making a profit. But Apple is different, they are taking the path of "excellence", whether it is iPhone, iPad, MacBook, they are all taking the best route. (Of course, it's not really perfect.) )

But from another point of view, Sony is also striving for excellence and hopes to become the world's leading car company. Under such a concept, it is normal for their car manufacturing projects to be delayed.

Secondly, China's mobile** is very different from Apple in the field of car manufacturing.

Ever since Apple announced the construction of its cars, we have seen the importance they attach to driverlessness, and over the years, they have put a lot of effort into driverlessness, submitted patents, and conducted a lot of testing. However, they didn't bring anything good to Apple. Therefore, although the purpose of unmanned driving is not achieved, it is not a shameful thing.

To put it bluntly, even if it is a car manufacturer in China, it is a very difficult thing in the field of unmanned driving. The only difference is that different choices are made in the game.

Third, our Huaxia company in the field of new energy research, in terms of technology, we want to far surpass the United States. It can be seen that many brands are desperately trying to improve the quality of their products. In a sense, Xiaomi was able to produce a car entirely because there were too many competitors in China.

Apple's new car project, on the other hand, is difficult to replicate successfully in China. If it's in China, it's a different story at all.

So, although Apple did not produce the desired model as expected, and also delayed the plan to produce a large number of cars. But for me, it's not a shame, at the very least, they've made a lot of progress in driverless technology, and if that really changes in the future, it's a good thing for Apple.
