Apple may have canceled its plans for an Apple Car, but the tech giant continues to file for, and be granted, patents involving vehicles.
In his latest “Power On” newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says an Apple car hardware manager lands senior role at Hyundai-Kia venture.
Manfred Harrer, one of the most senior design managers for the canceled Apple car project, has landed a top role at Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Corp.’s joint research and development unit. In his new job, he’ll run the companies’ push into next-generation vehicle technologies.
He had only joined Apple in 2021 after serving as a top executive at Porsche. Gurman says that, like many others, he was out of a job after the car project came crashing down earlier this year — and it appears he had no interest in working on new iPhones, the Apple Vision Pro or the company’s secretive home robotics efforts.
