"Unveiling Apple's Abandoned 'Bread Loaf' Car Designs"
TL;DR Summary
The abandoned Apple Car project aimed for Level 5 autonomy with a focus on maximizing interior space resembling that of a private jet, featuring a minimalist interface and versatile seating. The designs leaned towards a futuristic van with rounded edges, adjustable tint windows, and a pure white exterior, resembling the Canoo Lifestyle Vehicle and the 2017 Volkswagen ID Buzz. However, as the reality of achieving Level 5 self-driving became less feasible, the designs had to accommodate steering wheels, pedals, and front-facing seats, ultimately leading to the project's cancellation after a decade of investment.
