Apple often works on projects that never make it to market, so there's a
good chance the company's car plans could be shelved or used in other ways,
such as the development of a new in-car platform, but it's also possible, given
the size of the team, that apple is committed to bringing a car to market. At
this early stage, it's impossible to determine whether the project will
continue or when a car might launch, but it's safe to say an apple car is
unlikely to see a release for several years to come.

According to rumors, apple was said to be pushing for a 2019 or
2020 production date, but the target launch date has slipped to
2021 due to the loss of a top executive and other internal
challenges like unattainable timelines and an inability to lay out clear goals.
Apple car development may be back on track now that it's being run by Bob Mansfield,
but given the layoffs, it's possible we'll never see a physical vehicle.
