  • The companies are planning to sign a deal by March 2021 to partner on the cars, according to a Sunday report from local newspaper Korea IT News, which was cited by Reuters.
  • Hyundai and Apple may build a US factory that would eventually allow the companies to make about 400,000 vehicles each year.

Apple and Hyundai plan to sign a deal that would lead to a "beta" version of an Apple electric vehicle as early as 2022, according to a Sunday report from Reuters.
Reuters cited a report from Korea IT News that said the companies are planning to sign a deal by March 2021 to partner on the self-driving electric cars, according to a Sunday report from Korea IT News.
With a deal in place, the companies may have a beta version of the vehicle ready by next year, according to the report. Mass production of the self-driving electric vehicles could begin by 2024. The plan would be to build about 100,000 vehicles in the US that year, according to Reuters.

The deal would add a complicated layer to Hyundai Motor Corp.'s business, Morgan Stanley analyst Young Suk Shin wrote on Friday in a research note to clients. It could be positive for Hyundai to be involved when Apple, which is known for disrupting industries, enters the vehicle market, according to Morgan Stanley.
"However, we still see a concern that HMG could effectively be helping a significant competitor to grow," the analysts wrote.

The Hyundai-Apple cars may be built at the Georgia factory that builds Kia Motors vehicles, a Hyundai affiliate. But Hyundai and Apple may instead build a factory that would eventually allow the companies to make about 400,000 vehicles each year.

On Friday, Hyundai reportedly acknowledged it was talking to Apple about the self-driving project.
Apple's cars are expected to use a new type of battery designed by Apple, which would "radically" lower costs and extend how far they could drive between charges, according to a December report.

Definitely an interesting partnership, and seems like it'd benefit both sides. Apple gets a hardware company to build their vehicles and Hyundai gets to not miss out on some revenue from the switch to autonomy which they seem to be behind the rest of the industry on.

It will use a new Lightning plug to charge and run on iOS.
no way....too many people have lightning cables. Apple will make something entirely new that no one else in the world uses and force everyone to purchase it. Even Tesla fans will be pissed.

yep, It will hurt the younger tesla buys and the Cali area. A lot of brands loyalist to apple. It will be something like connecting your apple phone and apple watch, it will be a way that gets it all lined out with apple products. Also, more of a computer put into the car than just a screen to access the car.

This will work well for folks who never need to leave their walled garden.

Ford Mustang Mach-E Apple Car? Hyundai and apple imac garden


I suppose the first step is to remove Android Auto support. Next, replace Hyundai's Android-based operating system with something a little fruitier.

Hyundai will benefit in the short term but it will be feeding the beast that will eventually eat it

All automakers are. Autonomy is going to end the private vehicle ownership model for all automakers, and I doubt that most automakers working on AVs will be the ones that survive.
