Apple, like many other tech giants, have been testing self-driving vehicle systems for a number of years. However, a development at the California DMV has put the future of the project in doubt.
Apple had a permit for testing autonomous vehicles on roads with a safety driver until April 30, 2025. According to MacReports, Apple contacted the DMV to cancel its Autonomous Vehicles Program Manufacturer’s Testing Permit.
