No, this fake viral video does not show Apple Car

Although Apple Car is viable and the project is still in play, it is so far from this type of test phase that it is not even fun. As we reported a few days ago, Taiwan Economic Daily News broke the news that a supply chain source claimed that an electric vehicle from Apple would debut in 2021, followed by a worldwide release in 2022.

“The main supply chain in Taiwan confirmed that Apple expects to release Apple Car in September next year, at least two years earlier than originally planned. The prototype has been tested on the roads in California, USA. In response to demand for Apple Car sourcing, Taiwanese manufacturers Taiwan and BizLink are busy, “the website states.

As Lee Corso puts it on ESPN̵

7;s College GameDay during the NCAA football season, MacRumors said “not so fast, my friend.” The aggressive release timeline, especially in the midst of a pandemic that has destroyed supply chains around the world, did not suit them well. And so it is MacRumors’ assessment that “Economic Daily News has a mixed history with Apple rumors. “

Fake CGI videos are not uncommon (like this one about a vandalized Bugatti), and they get more sophisticated all the time. If you look closely at one of the imaginary Apple Car, you will see that the shadows do not match and it has a low resolution, which camouflages the CGI seams you might otherwise see. But still, you can bet that right now someone is searching for an “Apple car” and trying to figure out a way to get on the waiting list. They will stand outside the Apple Store all night if they have to.

They will wait a good while. Maybe forever.
