In the latest edition of the Power On newsletter, Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman reports that Apple has lost another manager from its Project Titan self-driving car team.

According to Gurman, Joe Bass, who was the head of software engineering program management for Apple’s car team has recently left the company after seven years.

With Bass’s departure, nearly the entire Apple car management team in place just one year ago is gone. Dave Scott, Jaime Waydo, Dave Rosenthal and Benjamin Lyon all left in early 2021. Doug Field, who ran the car team, headed for the exits in September. Michael Schwekutsch, who was in charge of hardware for Apple’s project, soon followed.

Then top engineers bolted. Bass had reported to Field before moving under Kevin Lynch, the new head of Apple’s car team.

In November, Bloomberg reported that Apple plans to release a self-driving EV as soon as 2025,.

For the past several years, Apple’s car team had explored two simultaneous paths: creating a model with limited self-driving capabilities focused on steering and acceleration – similar to most current cars from Tesla Inc. – or a version with full self-driving ability that doesn’t require human intervention. .

The problem here is that after this report, Apple lost more and more employees from this project.
