Apple Will Invest $3.6 Billion In Kia Motors To Build An Apple Car, Claims Report

Apple is investing 4 trillion won ($3.6 billion) in Kia Motors in a collaboration to build an electric car. From a report: This is according to a report by Korean outlet DongA Ilbo, which claims a deal may get inked on February 17. According to the report, the plan is to launch the Apple Car in 2024, with an initial target of producing 100,000 cars per year. This can later be expanded to 400,000 units, the report claims. Apple's funds will be used to build exclusive facilities for the production and development of Apple Car. The report follows a January report that Apple is talking to Hyundai about Apple Car production, which Hyundai has readily confirmed. The company noted, however, that the discussion was "at its early stage" and that "nothing has been decided." However, Hyundai later revised the statement, only confirming that it's been talking to partners about building an autonomous electric vehicle.
