Apple could take on Uber with self driving car

Apple's plans for a self driving car could eventually lead to a ridesharing platform to take on Uber, it has been claimed. Apple's project, known internally as Project Titan, has hit numerous delays, but is now hiring new experts in software, and according to recent claims, has a clear direction - to take on Uber. According to Business Insider, Apple is creating its autonomous systems with an eye to the ride-sharing and ride-hailing market. Disagreements among Apple's top brass have led to a dramatic scaling back of the firm's plans for a self-driving car, industry insiders have claimed. Apple officially secured a permit to test autonomous vehicles in California on April 14.
