COOK: APPLE EXPLORING SELF-DRIVING CARS CEO
Tim Cook, in an interview with Bloomberg, said Apple is working on self-driving cars. “We’re focusing on autonomous systems,” Cook said in an interview during the Worldwide Developers Conference. “It’s a core technology that we view as very important.” Cook was unsure whether Apple would build its own self-driving cars. “We sort of see it as the mother of all AI projects. It’s probably one of the most difficult AI projects actually to work on.” Apple invested $1 billion last year in Didi, a ride-sharing company in China. And it also has reportedly hired Dan Dodge, the former head of Blackberry’s automotive software division, Bloomberg reported.
