Apple's automotive plans continue to perplex industry experts. In October, Bloomberg reported that the tech giant had scaled back its automotive plans amid a series of Project Titan layoffs, and was moving from building a complete car to developing a system that could be used in future self-driving vehicles.
苹果公司进军汽车产业的计划依然让业内专家极其困惑。十月彭博社报道,科技巨人苹果公司在泰坦计划(Project Titan)的一系列裁员中也相应地缩减了它的汽车产业计划,而且其目标从造车转变为开发一套能够在未来的自动驾驶车辆上使用的系统。
Then, in November, Apple sent a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, claiming that it was "excited about the potential of automated systems in many areas, including transportation."
之后在十一月,苹果向美国国家公路交通安全管理局发送了一封信,声称它对“自动化系统在多个领域的潜力感到很兴奋,包括交通领域。”
And this week, Apple has allegedly hired Alexander Hitzinger, the former head of Porsche's Le Mans prototype efforts. In a recent interview with Manager Magazin', however, Hitzinger didn't confirm his position at Apple, only stating that he left Porsche to do something "which has a significant and direct impact on society."
本周,据说苹果公司雇佣了保时捷的勒芒原型转向力的前负责人亚历山大·希青格尔。然而在近来与《经理人》杂志的采访中,希青格尔并没有证实他在苹果公司任职,只说他离开保时捷是为了做一些“对社会有重要且直接影响”的事。
