Posted by Poquet Auto on May 24, 2016 9:00:23 AM

Apple recently invested $1 billion in China’s largest private ride-hailing service, Didi Chuxing (a competitor of Uber).

This partnership lends a little support to the claim that Apple is secretly working on a self-driving vehicle-related product, code-named “Project Titan.”
