Japanese automaker Nissan on Tuesday suggested it would be interested in partnering with Apple on the production of a so-called “Apple Car,” citing the need to stay nimble as technology permeates the industry.
During a quarterly earnings conference call, Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida fielded a question regarding a potential collaboration with Apple now that Hyundai is no longer in talks to build the tech giant’s car, reports The Wall Street Journal.As technology remodels the car industry, “we need to take new initiatives” and “work with companies that are knowledgeable, with good experience, through partnership and collaboration,” Uchida said. While not a confirmation that talks are underway, the response illustrates a willingness to cooperate on a project that has reportedly been declined by other major automakers.
