Apple’s automotive ambitions took a significant hit recently, with CNBC reporting that Apple recently cut 200 employees from Project Titan, the company’s somewhat secretive automotive research initiative. Notably, these weren’t all layoffs as a good number of employees have reportedly been shifted over to different project groups within the company.
The news comes at an interesting time given that Doug Field — who formerly worked as a Senior VP of Engineering at Tesla — rejoined Apple back in May. Field was reportedly working directly under Bob Mansfield and his inclusion in Project Titan created some optimism that Apple’s ongoing R&D efforts in the automotive field might actually result in a shipping product.
