In February, Apple closed its “Apple Car” project, linked to the creation of an electric car equipped with advanced driver assistance features. We have talked about it several times and we have seen that after years of work, Cupertino has not succeeded in its goal of entering the automotive sector. However, in recent years he has certainly acquired various skills which could still be exploited in other projects.
According to a report from DigiTimes, Apple it may still have some ambitions in the automotive sector. In fact, it seems that it is considering the possibility of collaborating with an American company that deals with electric cars. In particular, the name of Rivian. Obviously, like all relationships of this type, this one must absolutely be taken with due caution.
For the moment, there would be few details. According to the report, which cites supply chain sources, as mentioned before, Apple is considering a collaboration with an electric vehicle startup and the name being given is precisely that of Rivian. We don’t know if there are really any discussions going on right now. However, Apple has certainly developed technologies that could be of interest to Rivian.
The American car manufacturer recently announced the new R2 and R3 electric models. The technology developed by Apple in recent years, especially in terms of ADAS systems, could guarantee Rivian the possibility of further improving these cars, guaranteeing customers added value.
A partnership with Apple could therefore be very advantageous for the car manufacturer, especially at a time when many manufacturers are investing many resources in software and in the development of advanced driver assistance features. Obviously we are only in the field of speculation since there is certainly absolutely nothing. All that remains, therefore, is to wait for any news to understand if Apple really intends to collaborate with Rivian or some car manufacturer.
