Even though the Apple Car is viable and the project is still in progress, it is so far from this kind of testing phase that it is not even funny. As we reported a few days ago, Taiwan Economic Daily News broke the news that a supply chain source claimed that an Apple-branded electric vehicle would be launched in 2021, followed by a worldwide launch in 2022.
“The main supply chain in Taiwan has confirmed that Apple expects to launch the Apple Car in September next year, at least two years before the original plan. Its prototype was tested on the roads of California, USA. In response to the demand for With outsourcing Apple cars, Taiwanese manufacturers like Taiwan and BizLink are busy, “says the website.
As Lee Corso says on ESPN’s College GameDay during the NCAA football season, MacRumors said “not so fast, my friend.” The aggressive release schedule, especially in the midst of a pandemic that wreaked havoc on supply chains worldwide, did not go well for them. And then there is MacRumors’ evaluation that “Economic Daily News has a mixed history of Apple rumors. “
Fake CGI videos are not uncommon (like this one about a vandalized Bugatti) and are getting more sophisticated all the time. If you look closely at the imaginary Apple Car, you will see that the shadows do not match and are of low resolution, which camouflages CGI seams that you might otherwise detect. Even so, you can bet that right now someone is searching for “Apple car” and trying to find a way to get on the waiting list. They will be outside the Apple store all night, if necessary.
They will be waiting for a long time. Maybe forever.
