There have been reports of a secret test lab for Apple’s electric car. Supposedly the project is code-named “Titan” and employs several hundred people a few miles from Apple’s Cupertino headquarters. Although building a car would be quite a departure from Apple’s usual electronic device market, it does seem that the Internet of Things is helping to blur industry lines—as cars become increasingly “smart,” the automotive and consumer electronics industries are more intertwined. Even if Apple isn’t planning to build an entire car, it is likely that they are studying vehicles as research that will help them design systems for navigation, media, and communication systems for cars.
