Meanwhile, in Cupertino, California, USA: NYT poroča, da v obgrizenem jabolku očitno niso čisto prepričani, kako se lotiti samovozil, ali pa svoja prepričanja prilagajajo času. Morda pa še niso prepričani, kako patentirati obliko samovozila pravokotnega tlorisa, ravnih površin in zaobljenih robov. :-)

> Apple is rethinking what it plans to do about self-driving cars, just as other big tech companies appear ready to plow ahead with competing efforts.
> In a retrenchment of one of its most ambitious initiatives, Apple has shuttered parts of its self-driving car project and laid off dozens of employees, according to three people briefed on the move who were not allowed to speak about it publicly.
> The job cuts are the latest sign of trouble with Apple’s car initiative. The company has added resources to the project — code-named Titan — over the last two years, but it has struggled to make progress. And in July, the company brought in Bob Mansfield, a highly regarded Apple veteran, to take over the effort.
> Apple employees were told that the layoffs were part of a “reboot” of the car project, the people briefed on it said. An Apple spokesman declined to comment.
