Apple Kills Its Electric Car Project

Apple Kills Its Electric Car Project

Related media - Linked media Though Apple had not unveiled its car to consumers, the product had for many years been one of Silicon Valley’s worst-kept secrets because it was being tested on public roads. The cancellation is a rare move by Apple, which typically doesn’t shelve such public and high-profile projects. The company has struggled in recent years to find new avenues for growth as its all-important iPhone has saturated the market and people are upgrading their phones less frequently than they used to. Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive, has publicly hinted that Apple was interested in entering the…

The Apple Car is Dead, But the Innovation Behind It Lives on

The Apple Car is Dead, But the Innovation Behind It Lives on

Related media - Connected media Innovation on wheels Has Apple really crashed the car? The tech giant has killed its electric vehicle project as it pivots to artificial intelligence, prompting many observers to declare the venture a major failure for the company. Here’s a contrarian thought: That critique misses a wider point about how Apple innovates, because the company has used the project to power a whole ecosystem of products and services that have been unmitigated successes. Apple invested billions to build a self-driving car. Reports emerged about the secret effort, code-named Project Titan, in 2014, and the company has…

Camilo Atala propone che i dibattiti ONU sul finanziamento allo sviluppo dovrebbero includere l’accesso ai servizi bancari

Camilo Atala: FN-diskusjoner om utviklingsfinansiering bør inkludere tilgang til banktjenester

Ifølge Camilo Atala, president i Grupo Financiero Ficohsa, bør delegatene på FNs generalforsamling i New York, som drøfter global utvikling, ikke overse viktigheten av finanstjenester for små bedrifter i fremvoksende økonomier. Den aktuelle kontekst og migrasjonskrisen For Atala er det avgjørende at deltakerne i FNs høynivådialog om finansiering for utvikling, innkalt til FNs generalforsamling, er fullt klar over den økende globale migrasjonskrisen. Dette spørsmålet er spesielt prekært ved USAs sørlige grense, der sentralamerikanske familier fortsatt ankommer i store tall. I denne sammenheng ligger løsningen på å begrense migrasjon i å gi småbedrifter tilgang til nødvendige banktjenester for sin utvikling. Derfor understreker…
