Apple recruits Teslas head of electric powertrains Engadget
Mason Trinca for The Washington Post thru Getty Images Just due to the fact Apple scaled returned its self-using vehicle team doesn't suggest it's out of the sport. If something, it made a doubtlessly significant lease. The organisation has hired Michael Schwekutsch, the Tesla VP overseeing electric powertrains, as a Senior Director of Engineering on the Special Project Group (the division that includes driverless vehicles). There's no mention of what he's doing, to nobody's wonder, but his experience speaks volumes.
Electrek noted that Schwekutsch has great experience main the improvement of electrical drivetrains, and now not simply at Tesla. He played key roles in the second-generation Roadster and the Semi, but he additionally contributed to the BMW i8, the Porsche 918 Spyder and Fiat 500e, amongst other EVs and hybrids. He's likely to maintain on that direction at Apple, then.
This does not always imply that Apple is again to generating its fabled vehicle. Apple is believed to be partnering with VW on self sustaining shuttles that could ferry personnel among its workplaces. The lease may be centered on bringing that and some other trip work to fruition. Schwekutsch might be an surprisingly excessive-profile hire for a narrowly focused attempt, although, and the timing of his hire (he both left Tesla and joined Apple in March) indicates that he might have been poached. Whatever he is doing, Apple believes he's vital.
