Apple has reportedly appointed wearable chief Kevin Lynch to lead its car division
Apple has reportedly appointed a new executive to lead the development of its secretive self-driving car division. According to Bloomberg, the company has tapped Kevin Lynch to oversee Project Titan following the departure of executive Doug Field, who left the iPhone maker for Ford earlier this week.
The name may not be familiar, but if youve watched any Apple event in recent years, youve seen Lynch on stage. After a stint at Adobe, he joined Apple in 2013 to oversee the companys wearable and health unit and has frequently been the one to present whatever new features Apple is working on for watchOS.
Bloomberg reports Lynch joined the division earlier in the year but is now overseeing the entire unit. The outlet notes Lynchs appointment suggests Apple is likely focusing on underlying software that a self-driving car would need to navigate the road, instead of a vehicle that we could see the company release anytime soon.
