Quanta Reportedly Supplying Apple With 'Autonomous Driving Solutions'

While the status of Apple's electric vehicle plans are unclear at this point, hit-or-miss DigiTimes reports that Taiwanese manufacturer Quanta Computer is currently supplying Apple with unspecified "autonomous driving solutions."

An excerpt from the paywalled report, emphasis ours:
With the test of its autonomous vehicle, Quanta is now able to prove its ability in designing an autonomous driving platform, which is expected to assist the company to obtain more partnerships, said the sources, adding that Quanta is currently one of the suppliers of Google's and Apple's autonomous driving solutions.
Quanta recently confirmed that it has developed and tested its first autonomous vehicle on closed tracks in the United States, according to the report, allowing it to "prove its ability in designing an autonomous driving platform." Quanta did not reveal details of the vehicle or the tests.

While noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has predicted that a so-called "Apple Car" could launch by 2025, in line with various reports claiming that Apple has been developing an electric vehicle, other reports have suggested that Apple has been focused solely on underlying autonomous technologies and systems.

Quanta is best known as the primary assembler of the Apple Watch since 2015, but a separate DigiTimes report claimed that the company may stop assembling the Apple Watch in 2020 due to "profit concerns."

Icon for New 16-inch MacBook Pro Found in macOS 10.15.1 [Image]



The design of Apple's next generation 16-inch MacBook Pro may have been leaked in the macOS 10.15.1 beta seeded to developers this month.

With the help of reader Maxime, MacGeneration discovered icons within the OS that are clearly labeled macbookpro-16 in both silver and space gray.

If you look closely you'll notice that compared to the same icon for the macbookpro-15 the bezels are smaller. Overall, the device appears to keep the same design. Previous reports have claimed that the notebook will have an ultra-narrow bezel and feature a new scissor mechanism for the keyboard.
