苹果取消十年电动车项目,将员工调至人工智能部门。股价上涨1%,投资者感到宽慰,马斯克也庆祝。
According to BlockBeats news, Apple recently announced the cancellation of a decade-long electric vehicle development effort, ending one of the most ambitious projects in the history of the technology giant. It is reported that Apple Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams and Vice President Kevin Lynch, who is responsible for the project, jointly announced the decision to employees. Nearly 2,000 employees involved in the project will be transferred to the artificial intelligence unit, led by executive John Giannandrea, to focus on generative AI projects.Apple declined to comment on the decision. However, the news came as a relief to investors, with Apple shares rising about 1% on Tuesday to close at $182.63 after Bloomberg reported the news. Tesla CEO Elon Musk also celebrated.The decision represents a major shift for Apple, ending a multibillion-dollar investment known as Project Titan that would have launched Apple into an entirely new industry segment. Apple's ambitions have faced challenges since it began working on a fully autonomous electric car in 2014, with the project team's leadership and strategy changing many times. Apple ultimately decided to end the project as growth in the electric vehicle market slowed in recent months.
