New
reports have emerged about Apple's long-rumored self-driving car. Earlier this
year, Apple was said to be in talks with Hyundai-Kia to partner on a
self-driving car, but the talks fell apart.

The
new rumors say Apple is close to signing a deal in which it would partner with
Canadian manufacturer Magna International to build an EV powered by LG-supplied
batteries and running on Apple software.

So
far none of the companies involved have commented on the reported negotiations,
so there's no guarantee that this deal will be finalized or that it will result
in a physical car.
A report in the Korea
Times today suggests that Apple has still not given up on its dreams
of building (or at least selling) a self-driving electric vehicle. The first
rumors that Apple was working on its own car surfaced in 2014. Since then, the
company seems to have focused its car-related ambitions on the development of
self-driving software, which would be used in a vehicle built by a partner
company with expertise in vehicle manufacturing. Earlier this year,
negotiations on the project between Apple and Hyundai-Kia fell through. But
now, Apple may have found new targets in LG and Magna International.
