Nissan says it is not in talks with Apple about production car

Nissan says it is not in talks with Apple about the production of a car. According to business newspaper The Financial Times, those conversations have taken place, but both companies are no longer talking. Apple wants to partner with a car manufacturer to make a car.

Nissan denies in a statement to Reuters that it is now in talks with Apple. The statement leaves open the possibility that those conversations have taken place and will take place in the future. According to The Financial Times, Apple and Nissan have been discussing a deal in recent months.

Automakers are not keen on collaborating with Apple, according to the business newspaper, because the tech company handles the design and software, while Apple’s brand name is also on it. They are therefore afraid of turning into the ‘Foxconn of the car industry.”

It is likely that Apple will want to partner with a major automaker to manufacture its own car, in order to scale production as quickly as needed and take advantage of the expertise. Hyundai and Kia have previously talked to the company, but those companies said they were not in talks with Apple last week either. The rumors about an ‘Apple Car’ have been going on for years.
