It takes more than a year to develop the electric car from one of the most famous companies in the world. And while some insiders dare to fantasize about the possible features or design of the Apple Car, we still don’t know much at the moment. Information journalists, using their own resources, tried to break the veil of secrecy.

Apple Car issues

As the publication states, Apple has been testing a prototype of the system for a while, which will be placed in the body of a car of its own design. However, for now, a car from another company – Lexus – is used as a basis. A set of sensors is placed on its roof, among which there are certainly cameras.
