Apple Inc has halted its electric vehicle (EV) project, Titan, to redirect resources towards its generative AI division. This decision, affecting nearly 2,000 employees, comes after multiple project delays and strategy changes. Despite spending millions on R&D, concerns about the EV's profit margins led to this strategic pivot. The move reflects broader industry trends, with some OEMs scaling back on EV efforts amid market pressures. Meanwhile, Apple's focus on AI is seen as a promising shift, with expectations of a new AI foundation model release.
