Few things are confirmed about the legendary Apple Car beyond it being some sort of large-scale automotive project. As usual, the iPhone maker is being as secretive as possible — yet there have been far too many reported hires, deals, and other developments for its auto work to be purely experimental. Here’s what you need to know to get up to speed with the Apple Car.

What is the Apple Car?

At its core, we know Apple Car involves some form of EV (electric vehicle). All the rumors have pointed in that direction, and gas wouldn’t make sense for a company that rides on green credentials. By the time any product hits the streets, gas will probably be seen as backwards — especially in Apple’s home
Many of the changes occurring within the automotive market today, including tightened credit score markets in a capital-intensive business and increased authorities involvement are the latest world challenges. Including extra feel and chassis compliance is a tough thing, one which Ducati bought wrong (though the corporate would never admit as a lot) by making the unique V4 body too stiff and inflexible. The R body, which is now seen on the non-R models, is derived from World Superbike and will get lightening measures (holes, primarily) near the front headstock. The result’s a 30% reduction in torsional stiffness and 15% reduction in braking stiffness. Letting the chassis flex and move is what interprets into feel and suggestions from the wheels, the front in particular.
