Apple, Google, and other manufacturers are looking for large areas through real estate in the area of San Francisco, to develop their autonomous vehicles. It is well known that Google has been working on this type of vehicle several years, and in fact has already secured permits to circulate in the San Francisco area without fear that police stop and seizes the vehicle. But he's not the only one. Apple also takes little more than a year, according to rumors, interested in bringing to market a vehicle, which know very little, but it seems that also would be a vehicle without a driver.
But not only Apple and Google are focusing on this type of vehicle, but also Toyota, Tesla, BMW, Mercedes, and Ford are also among the companies seeking to develop extensive grounds where their autonomous vehicles. According to the publication, Google is looking for a superfice close to 800,000 square feet like Apple. Both companies want to expand their research departments and developed for these activities to test and experiment with different models that will be manufactured.
For example. Tesla, where facilities are currently manufacturing the current models, have an area of 5.3 million square feet and are located in Fremont, California, but is a factory, not a research facility. Hence, the difference between the space searched Google and Apple with a factory to build vehicles in series. As we reported a few weeks ago, Apple is renting different ships to be developing the various components that form part of the Apple Car, ships that are receiving different names related to Greek mythology.
So far, little we know of as the Titan project progresses, in which Apple is working to bring to market the first vehicle of the company, except that the new project manager is the former vice president of engineering of Tesla, who joined makes weeks.
