Is the Apple Car 'Project Titan' in chaos? Deadlines and goals seem to be shifting

Looks like there’s trouble in Apple’s walled garden over Project Titan, Cupertino’s attempt to get into the autonomous car market.
According to Bloomberg, internal strife has seen staffers depart and the project flounder. Apple was supposedly going to reveal the car, or the software for a car, or something combining the two, in 2020. But that deadline has reportedly been pushed back to 2021, and word is there’s now a late 2017 deadline for the project to put up or shut up in terms of what it will ultimately be: a whole car, or a software package that runs a car made by an outside automotive partner.
With Apple investing heavily in high-tech supercar maker McLaren and, according to the Wall Street Journal, devoting nearly 2,000 workers to the project, this isn’t some after-hours lark Tim Cook and friends are piecing together in a corner of the corporate garage.
