In a Q&A session targeted on the Apple Automobile, Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman defined what has occurred with the Apple Automobile workforce as soon as the undertaking was canceled.
Right here’s what he says: The Apple automobile workforce was damaged up. The individuals engaged on the AI “mind” for the automobile have been shifted to Apple’s essential AI/ML (synthetic intelligence/machine studying) group. The individuals engaged on the automobile’s working system and different software-based elements are shifting over to software program groups underneath Craig Federighi. A lot of the {hardware} workforce is both being laid off or being advised they’ll search for different jobs inside Apple. What has been actually shocking to me is that Apple’s most senior {hardware} executives on the automobile undertaking are and not using a job. Apple saved nothing for them elsewhere — and their focus is first on discovering jobs for his or her workers. It’s going to be musical chairs, sadly, with roles not left for everybody.
