Question regulation
Apple called for the total collaboration between companies -READ THE “RECIPE” OF VOLVO – and the Authorities (NHTSA). In the month of September, the administration Obama had drawn up guidelines for the development of the cars to guide autonomous; 15 points where they were explained in issues related to security. The same administration urged car companies to make public the details of their systems.
The regulatory problem is still open, and, especially in the USA, is a problem not just in view of the diversity of the different states. If the Obama administration, however, has taken a step forward for the regulation, administration of, Trump is required to work even more important because the times are much more mature.
in Addition to Apple’s also the Volvo is projected strongly on the autonomous guide: "The guide for stand-alone can significantly contribute to road safety.

The summary of the episode previous
In recent months, the Project Titan -the name of the project “Apple Car”- had done a lot of talking about stakeholders and the input of Cupertino in the world of the car was now given for granted, considering the acquisition of specialized figures made by Apple. Unfortunately, however, the project of Apple Car was very vague from the very beginning. Then Apple has definitely decided to abandon the idea of building your own car scaling up the Project Titan in a premium service, such as the autonomous guide.
“Project Titan has been an amazing failure of leadership,” said one of the people involved in the project. The problem was that you switched abruptly from wanting to build a car to the development of a platform intended to help independent. The result of a big change of strategy in the course of work resulted in the abandonment of the project on the part of many highly specialized human resources. Apple has done the rest laying off about 120 engineers responsible for the development of the software and the operating system of the ict board; initially, the resources devoted to the development of the Apple Car were estimated at around 1,000 units.
