American company Apple has decided to stop work on the development of its first electric car and instead focus its work on the field of productive artificial intelligence.

This was reported by Bloomberg with reference to knowledgeable sources, as reported by Ukrinform.

Apple is said to have announced the decision on Tuesday, surprising nearly 2,000 employees working on the electric car project, which is considered one of the most ambitious projects in the company’s history.

The management announced that the project “will begin to finish” and many members of the team working on the creation of the electric car will be transferred to the artificial intelligence department. They will focus on productive AI projects that have become priorities for the company.

The Apple Car team includes hundreds of engineers and automobile designers. They are likely to apply for jobs in other parts of the company.

Layoffs have also been announced, but it is not yet clear how many employees the company will say goodbye to.

It is stated that Apple started working to develop its own electric car around 2014. At the same time, the company changed the management and strategy of the team working on this project several times.

As Ukrinform reports, Apple is working on new capabilities based on generative artificial intelligence that will be available this year.
