Although there have been a variety of reports speculation that Apple is "Titan" (Project Titan) code-named research and development of unmanned vehicles, but the technology giant has always been tightly related to the plan.
"We are focusing on the autopilot system," Cook said in an interview with Bloomberg, and it is clear that one of the applications of the autopilot system is unmanned vehicles, and of course other goals.
"To some extent, we see it as the mother of all the artificial intelligence projects," Cook said.
In addition, Cook also shows that the temporary is not prepared to disclose "from the product point of view," Apple will be specific to what to do.
"But we see it as a very important core technology," Cook added.
Although Apple's confidential work done well, but also the media found some clues. In April this year, the media found a car equipped with a large number of sensors and cameras on the white music RX450h SUV, suspected to be tested. In the same month, the California Motor Vehicle Administration issued a permit to Apple to allow the company to test unmanned vehicles on the California road.
At the end of last year, Apple in a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), also hinted that the company will focus on software research and development: "The company is vigorously studying machine learning and automation, "The company is very excited about the development potential of automation systems in the future for many years."
