Apple’s failed self-driving car program left a legacy of powerful AI chips

Apple's self-driving car program was cancelled, but it led to the development of the Neural Engine, a powerful AI chip that powers on-device AI processing in Apple devices. This chip made its debut in the iPhone X and A11 Bionic. It's used for tasks like computer vision and Face ID. The Neural Engine's development was a key legacy of Apple's failed self-driving car program. It's a testament to how innovation can come from unexpected places.
