According to a report published by Gadgets 360, it is believed that the device-manufacturer is working in collaboration with China's Fujian province based Contemporary Amperex Technology Ltd on its automobile project. The project is kept under wraps, and Apple doesn’t make mention of it anywhere. However, it appears like both the companies are working towards developing automobile batteries to power up the systems.
Citing unnamed sources, the report said that both the parties were equally dedicated to working on making this project successful.
