A new report claims that Apple has been working with an unspecified South Korean partner to develop an autopilot processor for the rumored “Apple Car<\/a>.” <\/p>\n

\n

Apple has recently been reported to be surveying South Korean suppliers<\/a> for “Apple Car” parts. However, now it’s claimed that the company has already been working with one for almost a year. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to The Elec<\/em>, an OSAT (outsourced semiconductor assembly and test) company has been<\/a> working with Apple on an autopilot chip module. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Unnamed sources in the report claim that the project began in 2021. It is expected to complete in 2023. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There are few further details. The publication says that sources say that the processor, and its outsourcing to an OSAT firm, resemble how Tesla created its autopilot. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Reportedly, Apple Korea chose the South Korean OSAT firm. The Elec<\/em> says Apple Korea was similarly tasked with working with South Korean companies when developing the M1<\/a> processor, but there is no evidence to support that claim. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Elec<\/em> has decent information from within Apple’s supply chain. However, its track record on specifics is poor. Tuesday’s report is more the latter, than the former.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
