CEO Tim Cook has never before outlined Apple’s plans in the automotive market, though public filings have provided snapshots of the efforts. “We’re focusing on autonomous systems,” Cook said in a 5 June interview on Bloomberg Television that amounted to his most detailed comments yet on Apple’s automotive plans. “There is a major disruption looming there,” Cook said on Bloomberg Television, citing self-driving technology, electric vehicles and ride-hailing. Whereas Apple had initially been building its own car, Mansfield scrapped those plans in favour of building an autonomous driving system. In the interview on Bloomberg Television, Cook was hesitant to disclose whether Apple will ultimately manufacture its own car.
