A second remark from Ming-Chi Kuo on Wednesday suggests that he has lost visibility on the Apple Car, and isn’t clear when the vehicle might go into production.
The Apple Car saga has stretched for about a decade at this point. There’s never been any doubt that Apple has been working on vehicle technology, but the state of it has waxed and waned throughout the years.
“If Apple doesn’t adopt an acquisition strategy to enter the automotive market, I doubt that the Apple Car can go into mass production within the next years,” he adds.
After Kuo’s March prediction of a dissolved Apple Car team, Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives asserted that it was a matter of “when, not if” the product would arrive, and he expected it by 2026.
