Apple Car Project
Apple may be on the verge of striking a deal with
Magna Steyr to help produce its upcoming car.
In fact, Magna currently produces cars for the likes
of BMW, Aston Martin and Volkswagen, helping to ease production bottlenecks for
those firms. Soon, it will help build two models from the Jaguar Land Rover
portfolio and Apple could be next.
A comprehensive report about Magna by Bloomberg
reveals that a dozen of the manufacturer's employees have been working with
Apple to help make its first vehicle a reality. It is speculated that while
Apple develops the car's self-driving system, Magna Steyr will be tasked with
helping to engineer the model. The two may then collaborate on design and final
development before production commences at one of Magna's facilities.
It certainly makes
sense for Apple to offload production to another company. After all, Taiwanese
company Foxconn Technology Group builds the iPhone allowing Apple to fully
focus on the design and development of its devices.
