With Cook at the helm of Apple for many years, Apple's mobile phone sales and market value are also rising, although often because of eating old books are criticized by consumers, but it is undeniable that Apple is still the world's greatest technology company.
Since 2020, technology giants have poured into the car-making track, which is not a new thing, with the continuous development of new energy vehicles, now the difficulty of developing a new energy vehicle is much lower than that of fuel vehicles, and considering the vast market for new energy vehicles, it is not difficult to understand why so many companies are keen on building cars in recent years, and Apple is no exception.
According to the news, Apple at the end of last year to dig Tesla's former automatic driver assistance system director Moore, the director will undertake the development task of Apple's self-driving car project, it can be seen that apple car team has begun to see, and according to Apple's speed and financial resources, within two years there will be a sample car, at that time it is estimated that a whole sales frenzy will be set off.
Like making mobile phones, Apple must need suppliers to build cars, preferably Suppliers in China, and the products of major suppliers plus Apple's own systems will eventually be combined into a car. Originally, Apple wanted one of bydir and Ningde as a battery supplier, but Apple asked them to build a factory in the United States and set up a business team to serve Apple, which was rejected by two companies. With the continuous loss of key talents, will Apple cars also die?
Like most domestic technology companies, Didi also released a car-making plan last year, and it is also a driverless car, and even built a D1 with BYD, although the sales are not good, but it is also a positive exploration. In addition to Didi, domestic online ride-hailing platforms, such as AutoNavi, Cao Cao and Yiyu Travel, do not have such a large financial resource to support car manufacturing, but Is Didi's current car-making plan still running? The answer is no, Didi now has to compete with Gaode, Cao Cao and Yiyu for the online ride-hailing business, where there is still leisure to manage the car-making business.
Therefore, Apple and Didi are not the same, Apple is the world's largest cash reserves of the company, as long as Cook is willing, you can build Apple cars, and the probability is to benchmark Tesla, and even the pricing is higher than Tesla.
Building a car is not a simple thing, investing tens of billions of dollars may just be adrift, but Tesla's huge revenue stimulates many companies to move forward, I don't know what everyone thinks about Apple's car?
