Apple has been working on its electric vehicle for years, which is currently being referred to as Apple Car. Internally, this vehicle project is called Titan, and it appears to be in limbo for the past few months.

According to the latest report, Apple Car is expected to launch in the year 2026, and the pricing will be under $100,000. It is also reported that the tech giant is scaling back its vision for the vehicle.

Earlier, the Apple Car was expected to go official by 2025, but now it has been delayed by a year as the Cupertino-based technology giant scales back its ambitious plans for a self-driving electric vehicle.

The company initially planned to design a car where passengers could face one another in a limousine-style car with no steering wheel or pedals. But the project has now been scaled back to have a more traditional design with a driver’s seat, steering wheel, and pedals.

Also, the fully autonomous driving or self-driving feature will not be available, but the car will be able to use a self-driving mode on highways. It will offer enough autonomy for users to play games or watch videos on the highway but ask to take control when driving on city streets or through adverse weather. The hands-free tech may debut in North America and expand to other regions over time.

Apple Car was originally planned to cost over $120,000, but it will now cost under $100,000 as the company has scaled down the features and technologies for the vehicle.

Currently, the company has not finalized a design for the Apple Car, but it plans to have it finalized by the end of next year, i.e., 2023. After that, the list of features for the vehicle is set to be completed by 2024, and the testing will begin sometime in 2025 ahead of the planned launch of the Apple Car in 2026.
