Apple Cancels Work on Electric Car, Ending Decadelong Effort - Lemmy

Shifts team to generative AI.

If your car development team can be transferred to AI developed you weren’t building much of a car.

Skilled developers can easily transition to another field of software engineering.
Even in 2024, there’s still a lot of non-software (automotive) engineering involved in building a car – even an electric one.

Highway infrastructure as code

Stop I’m unironically excited for this distant possibility.

I’m already impressed by how much the UI for cars have been separatedfromm mechanical systems.

Electric cars have a lot more tunability from a software view too. Clearly there is a plenty of real world between the chips and where the rubber meets the road too.

So I get a free car and the owner gets to keep the original? Like hell I wouldn’t.
