Apple Inc’s autonomous test vehicles are relying on significantly more human intervention than Alphabet Inc’s Waymo or General Motors Co’s Cruise cars, an indication the iPhone maker may lag well behind on the technology.
Test drivers disengaged the autonomous mode on Apple’s cars once almost every mile, based on data the company disclosed in an annual report to California’s Department of Motor Vehicles. Waymo’s cars went about 11,017 miles between disengagements, and Cruise’s went 5,205 miles.
