Apple scraps electric car project - Bloomberg
Work on the multibillion-dollar plan dubbed Project Titan started a decade ago
US tech giant Apple has abandoned its decade-long effort to build an electric car, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The anonymous sources told the outlet that the announcement, which Apple made internally on Tuesday, came as a surprise to the nearly 2,000 employees working on the project. The decision was reportedly shared by Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams and Kevin Lynch, a vice president in charge of the effort. They told the employees the project would begin being phased out and that many of them would be shifted to the company's artificial intelligence division.
Apple and CEO Tim Cook never acknowledged the car project publicly, instead referring to it as work on "autonomous systems." That made it a source of intense speculation in the automotive and tech industries.
Since Apple started devoting resources to the concept in 2014, the plans to build an electric semi-autonomous vehicle have repeatedly shifted and attempts to bring a product to market have faced numerous setbacks. Apple axed dozens of employees connected to the project in a 2016 restructuring. Earlier this year, Bloomberg reported the tech company's estimated release date for the car had been delayed until at least 2028.
EV giant Tesla's chief executive, Elon Musk, responded to Apple's decision to abandon the project by posting emojis of a salute and a cigarette on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

Q Research General #17446: What did RUNBECK do with all the ballots they mailed out Edition
Former student seeks $30m in damages from Brisbane Grammar School for abuse by paedophile school counsellor Kevin Lynch
A former Brisbane Grammar School (BGS) student says he wants his allegations of abuse against a former school counsellor heard in court, in a landmark case where he is seeking $30 million in damages.
Key points:
David Welsh is one of more than 130 victims of school counsellor and paedophile Kevin Lynch
Mr Welsh says he is raising money for a fighting fund for legal fees and to help other victims mount cases
Brisbane Grammar School says the matter is "subject to legal proceedings and the school can't comment on detail"
David Welsh said he was one of more than 130 victims of paedophile Kevin Lynch, who raped and sodomised teenage boys while they were in the school's care.
Established in 1868, the elite private school is a non-denominational day and boarding school for boys in years five to 12, and is Brisbane's oldest secondary school.
Mr Welsh, 51, said he went from a smiling happy Year 11 boy to quiet and sullen after allegedly being abused by the counsellor in the mid-1980s.
Mr Welsh did not tell anyone at the time.
"There was a fear I would not be believed - it makes me extremely angry and I want justice," Mr Welsh said.
Mr Welsh said the abuse had left him with PTSD, depression and anxiety after using alcohol and gambling to try to ease the torment and shame.
Once a high-flying investment banker with Goldman Sachs earning $1 million a year in London, Mr Welsh is now penniless, living with his parents and on a disability pension.
"I have got nothing to lose - I do not have a wife, kids , reputation, money - there is nothing more they can take from me, so I want to take them to court," Mr Welsh said.
"[Lynch] was a teacher at the school - these guys were gods - this was [former headmaster] Max Howell's Brisbane Grammar School where people did what they were told," Mr Welsh said.
"More than anything you are so embarrassed and ashamed - you are not going to tell anyone because you do not want to admit it happened."
'The life it could have been'
The former high-flyer said he was raising money for a fighting fund for legal fees and to help other victims mount cases.
He said he no longer recognised the boy in the photo wearing his school uniform who used to laugh and smile every day.
"It is the life it could have been, I guess", Mr Welsh said.

Q Research General #16540: Australia Comms Are Going Dark Before MASS Vaccination Edition
Sexual abuse survivor wants former boys' school principal stripped of Order of Australia award
Chris Stoker is desperate to move on and find some closure decades after becoming a victim of the sick fantasies of serial paedophile Kevin Lynch.
Key points:
Abuse survivor Chris Stoker is campaigning for former BGS headmaster Max Howell to be stripped of his Order of Australia
From age 12, Mr Stoker endured years of sexual abuse by BGS school counsellor and serial child molester Kevin Lynch
Mr Howell died in 2011 denying any knowledge of any abuse
Every day since he was a 12-year-old boy, Mr Stoker, now 50, has relived the abuse he endured at the hands of the serial child molester, who was a school counsellor between 1973 and 1988 at Brisbane Grammar School (BGS), one of Queensland's leading boys' schools.
The abuse lasted for three-and-a-half years.
Mr Stoker's older brother was also a Lynch victim - his abuse also started when he was 12 and lasted the same length of time.
Both men feel betrayed that the man whose job it was to protect them and scores of other young boys - then BGS principal Max Howell - refused to act when he was made aware of the predator's behaviour as early as 1981.

'Completely failed the children'
The Stoker brothers and many others were raped by Lynch in a locked room with a red flashing light signalling no-one should enter.

Chris Stoker said he was also physically assaulted by Mr Howell during those years.
Mr Howell died in 2011, denying knowledge of any abuse.
Mr Stoker has spent several months campaigning to have the former BGS headmaster stripped of his Order of Australia (OAM) for services to education, that he was awarded on January 26, 1986.
In 1990, Mr Howell was awarded an honorary doctorate by Griffith University.
Last October, Mr Stoker wrote to the university urging that title be revoked and the institution yesterday agreed to act, two days after being contacted by the ABC.
But Mr Howell's OAM still stands and is easy to find on the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet 'It's an Honour' webpage.
"They are perpetuating his behaviour, continually recognising him for his failings for protecting children," Mr Stoker said.
"It makes a statement that it is OK to have done those things, that it is OK to have ignored children's pleas for help.
"Dr Howell completely failed the children who were at Brisbane Grammar School - I know at the time he accepted the award, I was being abused by Kevin Lynch.
"I relive that abuse every day of my life and I do not need more reminders of that abuse being sanctioned by our Government."

BAKER: wild dig/theory on Mystery of the Missing [M]
Part 1/2
POTUS' recent (8 July 2019) tweet about UK ambassador to US Kim Darroch activated the almonds. Specifically, reference to Queen Elizabeth II (there was an earlier QE!) and the who/whom missing [M].
Assume no coincidences = "true." DJT dropped [M] to cue anons on purpose.
Russiagate leads to London. Brit DS elite manufactured Boer War, WWI, almost certainly WWII, and have been aiming for WWIII. Bill Clinton, Canuck femiNazi Foreign Minister / Trudeau controller Chrystia Freeland, and SNC-Lavalin Chair / Roths Central Bankster Kevin Lynch all connected to [Cecil] Rhodes foundation. Read here if you haven't grokked this yet:
https://orientalreview.org/2019/07/06/the-british-roots-of-the-deep-state-how-the-round-table-infiltrated-america/ (author's other work worth anons' time, esp canuckanons)
Brit/London DS has been trying to take control of US for CENTURIES, and they were almost there before DJT 2016. C_A really run as adjunct to MI6 and/or MOS_SAD.
[M] + Queen = makes me think of James Bond character M. Fictional head of MI6. Spying. So I thought POTUS missing [M] tweet + Queen on subject of UK's Ambassador's diplo gaffe/leak was meant to be taken from a spy/espionage perspective:
- maybe Queen's/DS hope to use INTEL agencies to bring US back into Empire has been neutralized; or
- maybe Ambass Darroch was M for MI6 part of Russiagate as part of plan to undermine Trump Admin and bring US back into Empire and has been neutralized via leak / diplo gaffe; or even (stretch)
- ghislaine [M]axwell as a sort of M controller of Epstein pedo blackmail control network (could be MOS_SAD, too, but w/ Balfour & Roths, MOS and MI6 might actually work for the same masters / mistresses).
Based on a recollection, decided to dig deeper into the James Bond angle. Found and Alice sized rabbit hole. Shit gets wild in Part 2/2.

Peter Hollingworth's long fall from grace
Critics say the Anglican Church is on trial as much as the former governor-general, who is still fighting to protect what is left of his reputation.
JOHN FERGUSON - February 11, 2023
1/3
Former governor-general Peter Hollingworth was a diminished figure when he shuffled into the Victorian Bar Mediation Centre this week, assisted by a supporter and holding a bright pink clipboard with a series of dot points, reminding him of his daily life.
People who have been important to him, down to more mundane matters such as presents, birthdays and a reference to an anniversary.
Gentle reminders for an ageing but still active mind as, two decades on, 87-year-old Hollingworth is still fighting to protect what is left of his reputation after being forced out of Yarralumla in 2003 over his mishandling of the child sex abuse scandal in Queensland in the 1990s.
Hollingworth this week faced the Anglican Church in Melbourne's Professional Standards Board, which must decide whether to punish the former archbishop of Brisbane for his at times grievous mistakes and decision-making.
He is facing 10 allegations of misconduct relating to four sex offending members of the Anglican Church and school system in Queensland under the notoriously secretive independent system adopted by the church in Melbourne and presided over by former barrister Robin Brett KC.
Hollingworth will learn, probably within weeks, whether he will be defrocked, lose the right to officiate or simply be admonished or, indeed, face whatever penalty the board sees fit.
Losing holy orders is on the table but not at all guaranteed, the tribunal's effective prosecutor not having apparently called for this sanction, although the church legislation seems to leave wide open the options for punishing misconduct.
Hollingworth remains a bishop of the Diocese of Melbourne, where he lives, and has reaped millions from taxpayers through his pension and entitlements as a former Australian head of state, with attempts revived this week by the Greens to have the system overhauled to enable payments to end for serious misconduct by any former G-G.
Some of Hollingworth's mistakes include failing to act on expert advice regarding a notorious sex offender and allowing him to stay with the church, casting inappropriate aspersions on a victim of sex abuse, failing to protect victims of abuse at a Brisbane school and writing an inappropriate and insensitive letter to a victim's brother while overseeing a scandalous church response to the abuse crisis.
The four abusers named in the Melbourne complaints are believed to be the late bishop Donald Shearman, former rector of the Dalby parish John Elliot, Toowoomba serial abuser Kevin Guy and former teacher Kevin Lynch, who was a prolific pedophile at Brisbane schools.
Hollingworth's rhetoric on the broad issue while archbishop and then governor-general was at times judged as clumsy and hurtful, his friends arguing he was placed in a job that did not necessarily fit his skills set.
In short, he made a disastrous career choice.
Having been a high-profile social justice campaigner as the head of the Brotherhood of St Laurence from 1980-89, Hollingworth became (inexcusably) bogged down in the fight by lawyers and insurers to save the church's coffers after being appointed archbishop in 1989.
Ignorance of the effects of child abuse has never been valid; at the Brotherhood he would have been confronted daily with the impact of abuse on families across the country.
Almost 1100 people alleged they were sexually abused as children in Anglican Church institutions nationally, according to the child sex abuse royal commission, with almost 570 alleged perpetrators identified in the report, nearly 250 of them ordained clergy.

Child sex victim fails to reopen damages claim against elite school
Calls are being made to urgently fix 'flawed' legislation, after a man who was abused by notorious paedophile Kevin Lynch lost his last-ditch bid to reopen a damages claim against Brisbane Grammar School.
Kylie Lang - June 1, 2021
The State Government is being pressured to urgently fix "flawed" legislation that makes it almost impossible for victims of historical child sex abuse to receive fair compensation.
It comes after a survivor of horrific abuse by paedophile counsellor Kevin Lynch lost his last-ditch bid to reopen a damages claim against Brisbane Grammar School.
The man's lawyers said ill-defined terms in amendments to legislation made in response to the Royal Commission into Institutional Response to Child Sexual Abuse meant respondents could be favoured over victims.
The man, known as TRG, was abused at least six times as a 12 and 13-year-old student at Brisbane's most prestigious boys' school in the 1980s.
On May 20, the High Court of Australia rejected TRG's appeal of a Supreme Court ruling that prevented him fighting for a higher payout than his earlier 2002 settlement of $47,000.
TRG was the first Lynch victim to test the 2016 amendment to the Limitation of Actions Act (Qld), which states a court can set aside previous settlements to permit new claims if it decides it is "just and reasonable to do so".
TRG's lawyers, who said their client was "recovering from the High Court findings", said the Government's failure to define "just and reasonable" left the words open to broad interpretation that could disadvantage victims.
Peter Wilkinson, McNamara Law managing director, called on Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman to clarify the phrase.
"We believe Parliament's intention was to benefit victims but without defining that phrase we can't see how a case will ever get around it," Mr Wilkinson said.
Joshua Brown, senior associate at McNamara Law, said TRG's case was submitted to the High Court as "a clear injustice".
"But all a respondent needs to say is this all happened 30 years ago and it creates a prejudiced defence," Mr Brown said.
He said the High Court finding "demonstrates the underlying flaw and failure in the Queensland legislation".
The Brisbane Grammar board of trustees submitted to the High Court that the school would suffer prejudice - that would not be "just and reasonable" - if TRG's settlement agreement was set aside.
This was based on issues relating to the credibility of former headmaster Max Howell, who swore an affidavit in 2002 denying he knew of Lynch's abuse.
Dr Howell, who died in 2011, was unavailable to test evidence referred to in the Royal Commission in which witnesses said he had explicitly been told of the abuse as early as 1980.
Brisbane Grammar School is also facing a $30 million lawsuit from David Welsh, who was abused by Kevin Lynch as a 15-year-old boy in 1985.
Commenting on the TRG case, headmaster Anthony Micallef said: "We acknowledge the decision of the High Court in this matter".
"Since 2000, the school has openly acknowledged the abuse that occurred and the harm caused as a result," Mr Micallef said.
"The school has worked to support those coming forward since that time, providing compensation, ongoing counselling, a direct personal response and other support.
"The school is committed to continuing to resolve matters with those who have experienced abuse, either directly or through the National Redress Scheme."
A spokesperson for acting Attorney-General Mark Ryan said the 2016 amendments were introduced by the LNP.
"This Government will always put victims first, that's why the Attorney-General has requested departmental advice about this matter."

Victim of notorious paedophile to sue Brisbane school for $30 million
Cloe Read - May 29, 2021
A victim of notorious paedophile Kevin Lynch who abused more than 130 children at a Brisbane school is raising funds to sue the institution for about $30 million.
David Welsh said he was sexually abused by Lynch when he was 15 years old in 1985 while he attended Brisbane Grammar School in Spring Hill.
The Royal Commission into child sexual abuse in 2017 examined allegations of abuse at Brisbane Grammar School and St Paul's School in Bald Hills, hearing evidence that school counsellor Lynch had sexually abused a "large number of students" during his employment at the school from 1973 to 1988.
A number of former students gave evidence at the public hearing, detailing the devastating effect the abuse had on them.
About 130 victims have so far settled with Brisbane Grammar for compensation.
But Mr Walsh said he believed damages should be determined by a judge, not the school.
"I want to create as much transparency on this process and everything that happens because when these deals are done at mediation, the victims all have to sign a confidentiality agreement so there's no transparency," he said.
"This guy must be one of the worst paedophiles in Australia's history.
"I will be suing…it'll be round about $30 million we'll be suing them for."
Mr Welsh said he was significantly impacted by the abuse when he was in Year 11, later losing his million-dollar job.
His life spiralled downward and he was diagnosed with chronic depression, a generalised anxiety disorder, PTSD and an alcohol abuse disorder that left him incapable of working.
"In 2001 I was working as a derivatives trader for Goldman Sachs in London and I earnt a million Aussie dollars that year," he said.
"I quit Goldman Sachs that year because of issues with depression and anxiety and all of these conditions I was suffering from because of what happened with me and Kevin Lynch.
"I've gone from there in 2001 to living with my parents currently on a disability pension."
Representing Mr Welsh, JML Rose lawyer James Lavercombe said victims were forced to sign up to a no win, no fee structure that preferred the interests of solicitors over the clients.
"There's a real risk the lawyers who represent their clients then turn on their victims and say hey, you better accept this offer because I'm owed all this money… its going to have to come out of these offers," he said.
"It all goes to settle and the lawyers take a little bit of their cream off the top and it never actually goes to court… everything gets swept under the carpet."
Mr Lavercombe is urging other victims and witnesses in the Royal Commission to come forward for the case, as the findings from the commission are not admissible in court proceedings.
An online fundraiser has so far raised $13,000 of its $1 million goal.
A Brisbane Grammar spokesman declined to comment, saying the matter was subject to legal proceedings.
