Last week there was a news on the web that Apple One of the long-time employees will leave at the end of January.ancHe is the head of programming language development Swift and associated development tools, Chris Lattner. From Applu will move to Tesla Motors, where he will be in charge of developing autonomous driving software and lead his own team of engineers. Speculation almost immediately began about why, after fourteen years at the company, Applu is leaving. Many theories have emerged, but they are no longer needed. Lattner provided the server Macrumors interview about what led him to this decision.

Autonomous driving is a very fundamental industry that will impact the world we live in. These are really important technologies that are in theone"They have the potential to save a lot of lives. At the same time, they are something that is extremely difficult to program and ensure that it works flawlessly. I believe that I can apply my programming experience to this field, and I have been a big fan of Tesla for a long time."
"The final decision was really difficult, as I was impressed by the technology and people in AppIt really matters. I can easily imagine how AppI will continue to work for many more years. In the end, however, the vision of embarking on something completely new, unexplored, won out, and the idea of becoming a member of the Tesla Autopilot team was simply stronger and the temptation was irresistible.”

This means that Apple is not involved in any autonomous driving. Or are they not counting on their own top programmers? Strange policy, nochat to sniff it.
