Apple's smart car...stupid!!!!

Intelligence has limits, this is what was proven by the Apple car, whose developers worked to develop its skills in self-driving, to reach the collision!!!!

Apple announced in a report that one of its self-driving cars had a crash near the company’s headquarters, and this statement confirms that the company is still in the race to build its self-driving car, although Apple executives have not publicly talked about the program. The company operates self-driving cars, but filings last month in connection with a criminal case confirmed that the company has at least 5000 employees working on the project and that it is developing circuit boards and a special chip related to self-driving cars.

The company is trying to enter a crowded field where many companies such as Alphabet's Waymo, the parent company of Google, along with traditional car makers such as General Motors' Cruise Automation, as well as start-ups such as Zoox, compete. billions of dollars into developing cars that can drive themselves.

According to the report published on the California Department of Vehicles website, on August 450, one of Apple's self-driving test program cars, a modified Lexus RX 24h with sensors, was involved in a collision while driving in autonomous mode with a Nissan Leaf. Nissan Leaf 2016 model, and the report said that the car was damaged, but there were no human casualties.

Under a safety plan filed with California regulators, a human driver should be able to take control of Apple's self-driving test car, and an Apple spokesperson confirmed that the company had submitted the report but did not comment further, and declined to answer questions about Whether the accident could be the result of a fault in the test car.

Apple has kept its program for self-driving cars, Project Titan, even though rivals such as Google have begun testing their cars on public roads. United in late 2016 urging them not to restrict vehicle testing.

Last year, the company obtained a permit to test autonomous vehicles in California, and cars have been tested on the roads since last year, and it now has permits for up to 66 cars with 111 registered drivers to operate them, while Waymo owns up to 88 cars, while it has Tesla has 39 cars, and last year Apple researchers published the first public research on cars, a software system that can help locate pedestrians more easily.

The safety of self-driving cars became a concern for US transportation regulators this year after an Uber car rammed and killed a woman in March in Arizona, prompting the company to halt testing efforts for a while, and Uber said it planned to restart the program. Self-driving cars will be tested again by the end of the year.

The California Department of Vehicles said that as of August 31, it had received 95 reports of autonomous vehicle collisions, while dozens of companies had obtained permits to test self-driving vehicles on California roads, but those permits required a human safety driver.
