Apple to use VW self-driving vans for employees

Bloomberg

Apple Inc. and Volkswagen AG struck a deal late last year that let the technology giant equip VW vans with self-driving technology to transport Apple employees between offices within the next year, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The agreement is part of
an internal Apple programme called Project Titan that started in 2015 as an ambitious effort to build an electric vehicle.
After facing development and management problems, Apple shifted its focus to autonomous technologies that control vehicles. The New York Times reported on the deal with Volkswagen. Representatives for Apple and Volkswagen declined to comment. Apple tests dozens of Lexus SUVs on public roads in California with its self-driving technology, but has also applied the technology to a shuttle service it’s developing to transport staff between office buildings at its Cupertino, California, headquarters.
