Fred Lambert, 9to5Mac:
Today, China’s Yicai Global reported that CATL, China’s largest automotive battery maker, is working with Apple on a confidential project:
“The Cupertino-based tech titan is working with Contemporary Amperex Technology Ltd. (CATL), a battery manufacturer in China’s Fujian province, on a scheme based on a confidentiality agreement. The parties are working together in the field of batteries, sources involved with the cooperation said.”
Neither Apple or CATL commented on the report.
If true, that’s a line in the sand between Apple’s car project being hardware-based, as opposed to a software-only car OS.
Interesting wrinkle.
Musk must be regretting bad-mouthing Apple.
Nah, he never regrets anything. And that explains Paypal.
Apple building software only for cars would have been like them making macOS available for all PC’s
It sucks that Apple can’t work on anything without people finding out about it far in advance.
