I can see the appeal of a fully self-driving Apple car. Something like a sleek little electric car, that takes the burden of actually driving away from you.
And looking back, 10 years ago (when this apparently started) self-driving cars seemed to be just around the corner and a huge market. So I can kind of see the idea behind it.
Apple is to chop more than 600 workers in a move likely related to the cancellation of several projects at the firm, including the company's self-driving car.
As Reg readers might expect, the world's most valuable company isn't saying much about the reasons behind the layoffs.
The company confirmed the job losses in Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) filing with the California Employment Development Department (EDD.)

The Register contacted Apple to confirm the cancellations and subsequent layoffs and will update should the company respond.
However, it is worth remembering that the notices only apply to California and Apple's Santa Clara operations.
