Apple puts brakes on self-driving car project, report says

Company follows Waymo's lead in pivoting from full 'Apple car' to manufacturing tech to automate already existing vehicles

Apple is following the road taken by Waymo, the autonomous vehicle subsidiary of Google-parent Alphabet, and downshifting on its still-unannounced self-driving car project, according to a report in the New York Times.

The company has been working on its automotive technology under the internal code name "Project Titan" since at least 2014, and once intended to build its own vehicle from start to finish, creating a true "Apple Car".
