For those who are interested with Apple Cars, Nikkei Asia has reported that some Meeting happened at Senden’s Texas offices two years ago that not only includes schematics to the car itself but also it’s Air Conditioning system. But unfortunately due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and Senden was in debt, their plans of joining the Apple Car project disappeared.

Apple and Sanden went on to discuss specific parts requirements. But Sanden's cash flow took a turn for the worse as the coronavirus pandemic unfolded. The company entered out-of-court talks with creditors on a debt resolution in June 2020, and its prospects of joining the Apple Car project faded.

This report basically only features further credence to their project, that’s all.

iMore has heard that this car project should be in prototype testing in 2024 and the current status of this project is unknown. There may be an Apple logo on the front but there were little doubt what Apple had in mind back then.
