Apple is moving forward with self-driving car technology, targeting 2024 to produce a passenger vehicle, sources told Reuters. The car reportedly will be powered by breakthrough 'monocell' battery technology that could radically reduce cost and increase the vehicle's range before a recharge is needed. Two people with knowledge of Apple's plans warned pandemic-related delays could push the start of production into 2025 or beyond. 'It's next level,' the person said of Apple's battery technology. Elon Musk told the BBC that Apple's plans to compete with Tesla are an 'open secret.'
