Mark Gurman Says Apple “don't even know for sure” What Project Titan Is Building
Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, the reporter who gets Apple scoops like no other. Quick catch up with Mark about his recent scoops, but also some Apple analysis in general: Apple has spent as much as 3 billion dollars on its original content for its new streaming service. But… they have probably fewer than 10 original movies locked and loaded. When it comes to “Project Titan,” Apple’s self driving car project, Apple still doesn’t have any idea where any of this is headed. I was skeptical we’d actually see an Apple AR headset. Actual Apple Googles. Mark thinks we really will... but not until 2021, or 2022. Sponsors: Capterra.com/ride LinkedIn.com/ride Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
