Tim Cook waves goodbye to a decade-long project.
Apple leadership revealed internally that the company was abandoning plans to develop its own fully autonomous EV, per Bloomberg.
Named "Project Titan," the effort began as far back as 2014, but experienced a number of setbacks through the years.
With the EV market itself showing signs of slowing, it makes sense that Apple would abandon the project, especially with any potential vehicle still years away.
As recently as last month the company had pumped the literal brakes on the future car, sharing that it wouldn't be launched until 2028 at the earliest.
There were nearly 2,000 employees tasked with research and development on the project, many of whom will be moved over to Apple's generative AI division.
