“Apple Inc.’s plan for autonomous vehicles calls for putting more-senior engineers in all of its cars than some of its rivals are using for road tests, a move that suggests the company is still in the early phases of testing its technology, analysts say,” Tripp Mickle and Tim Higgins report for The Wall Street Journal.
“In a permit issued April 14 by the state of California, obtained Friday through a public-records request, Apple identifies six employees, including roboticists who worked at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, who will be in the front seat of three Lexus sport-utility vehicles outfitted with technology to make them autonomous,” Mickle and Higgins report. “Shilpa Gulati, the first person named on the Apple permit, has been in the field since at least 2009, when she was part of a team working in Antarctica on a NASA-funded project to develop an autonomous vehicle to explore one of Jupiter’s moons.”

“She later worked on self-driving cars at Robert Bosch GmbH, a German technology and auto-parts supplier. According to her LinkedIn page, she is a manager working on special projects at a ‘Silicon Valley company,’ where she built a team of about 30 researchers and engineers,” Mickle and Higgins report. “The permit also names three engineers who worked at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory: Paul Hebert, who has designed a robot that could unlock a door; Jeremy Ma, who focused on algorithms for detecting three-dimensional objects; and Victor Hwang, who has worked on motion-planning algorithms for robots, according to their LinkedIn pages, which list them as working at Apple.”

madis: Ma luban et rohkem ei mölise siin teemas, aga ikkagi, arvestades kuidas Apple on nt profikliendid üle lasknud (Mac Pro on 4 aastat uuendamata) siis on aasta-kahe pärast aktsia 2x või rohkem kukkunud ja pressiteated, st mitte-pressiteated-vaid-keegi-kusagil-kogemata-nägi-ülisalajast-asja ei päästa enam midagi.
Apples töötavad tavalised inimesed, mitte Jobsi robotkloonid, seega ei ole mõtet suu ammuli oodata ilmaimet väljumas (millal Apple midagi uut tegi peale iPhone ?)
