Bloomberg. It is just the latest in a recent string of reports about
Apple’s plans to enter the automotive industry. What seemed like a crazy rumor a couple of weeks ago, when an Apple employee
first emailed Business Insider about it, has now been confirmed by multiple news outlets. Bloomberg says Apple has 200 people working on the project, matching earlier reports that said “hundreds” of people were on the team. Apple could still scrap the project if it’s not working, as the company has done with other secret projects. The project is being led by
Steve Zadesky, who ran iPhone and iPod development at the company and started his career as an engineer at Ford.
