The CEO of Volkswagen has welcomed reports Apple could release a car in the future, saying it will help to accelerate the transformation of the industry.
Herbert Diess responded to talk of an Apple Car in a LinkedIn post, where he was asked about Apple's project Titan, citing an article regarding reports Apple will release an autonomous car in 2024 with breakthrough battery technology. Diess responded:
We are looking forward to new competitors who will certainly accelerate the transformation of our industry and bring in new skills. The incredible evaluation and thus the virtually unlimited access to resources inspire us a great deal of respect. A real challenge - dimensions greater than those within our industry (e.B. Toyota Motor Corporation ) As I have already said, the most valuable company in the world will once again be a mobility company - it Tesla can, Apple or may be Volkswagen AG called. (Translated)
