Currently, vehicles such as the Tesla Model S and Model 3 run on a Level 2 autonomous driving system that requires the driver to keep his or her hands on the steering wheel at all times. Musk has been threatening the public with Level 5 autonomous driving for a while now, but it’s still far off according to Moore. Apple has also enlisted the help of Urlich Kranz, former CEO of autonomous car company Canoo, and other ex-Tesla executives such as drivetrains chief Michael Schwekutsch and interiors head Steve MacManus. With a team stacked with former Tesla employees, it will be interesting to see what progress Apple makes in its conquest for autonomy.
