Apple is making self-driving car systems but probably won't build its own vehicle, Tim Cook confirms

Apple has spoken about its plans for self-driving cars for the first time. The company won't be building its own vehicle, boss Tim Cook said. But it's doing something that might be even more important: building technology that can be put into a car to make it able to drive itself. He said that the company was excited about such developments, including electric cars. For the moment however it is focusing on "autonomous systems", something that Mr Cook said could be used to power self-driving vehicles in the future but a range of different products too. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
