San Francisco

AFTER years toiling away in secret on a car project, Apple Inc chief executive officer Tim Cook has for the first time elaborated on the company's plans in the car market.

"We're focusing on autonomous systems," Mr Cook said in a June 5 interview on Bloomberg Television that amounted to his most detailed comments yet on Apple's car plans. "It's a core technology that we view as very important."
