INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
As per a report filed with the California Department of Motor Vehicles, one of Apple's test vehicles was involved in a low speed incident
on August 24.Apparently, the autonomous Apple car was attempting to merge onto an expressway and traveling at only 1 mph when it was
rear-ended by a Nissan Leaf, the report says
In other words, the human driver in the Nissan was probably expecting the Apple car (a Lexus) to drive on or just wasn't paying attention to
what was ahead.Both cars sustained damage but no one was injured in the collision
The incident happened in daylight and in good weather, so there were no extenuating circumstances that could have led to either of the cars
getting confused.Keep on self-drivingConsidering Apple's self-driving project is on a smaller-scale than its competitors, it's perhaps
smash.And if you weren't aware Apple was involved in self-driving technology, that's the way the company wants to keep it
Unlike Google, Tesla and Uber, Apple is very secretive about its future automotive plans: if it wasn't for various filings that have to be
registered with the California DMV by law, we wouldn't know it was real at all.Quite what Apple has planned is unclear, and its ambitions as
far as cars go seem to have shifted back and forth down the years
It's possible that we will eventually see an actual Apple Car, or maybe Apple will just develop self-driving AI for others to make use
