Apple CEO Reveals Tech Giant Is Working on AI for Self-Driving Cars

Apple has spent years working on a car project that has been kept shrouded in secrecy

— until now. During an interview with Bloomberg, Apple CEO Tim Cook said the auto industry is experiencing disruption from three avenues: electric cars, ride-sharing companies and self-driving technology. And driverless cars, Cook revealed, is something that Apple has been focusing on. Cook said the artificial intelligence (AI) behind autonomous systems is an important "core technology" for the company moving forward. "We're focusing on autonomous systems, and clearly one purpose of autonomous systems isself-driving cars [but] there are others," Cook told Bloomberg. "And we sort of see it as the mother of all AI projects — it's probably one of the most difficult AI projects actually to work on."
