According to Bloomberg, in 2014, there was a report about Apple’s desire to make electric cars for the first time.

Several reorganizations occurred within Apple’s Special Projects Group, including the inclusion of layoffs in 2019. According to Bloomberg, some Apple employees from the car division could join the generative artificial intelligence (AI) team.
