Few tech rumors have been running for as long as the one about an Apple Car being on the way, and there’s now more evidence that Apple is indeed busy working on an automobile: the company has reportedly hired former Tesla Autopilot software director Christopher Moore.
That’s as per Bloomberg (via 9to5Mac), based on “people with knowledge of the matter”, and we can assume that both electric power and self-driving capabilities are on the way if an ex-Tesla engineer is involved. Moore will apparently be reporting to Stuart Bowers, another executive who has made the switch from Apple to Tesla.
As you would expect, Apple has declined to comment on the report to Bloomberg, which fits in with what the company has previously said about its automobile-making efforts: very little. Earlier this year Apple CEO Tim Cook hinted that some kind of autonomous navigation tech was in the works, but that’s about all we have so far.
