AI Summary
Apple's abandoned self-driving car project indirectly led to the development of the Neural Engine, a specialized AI chip that became the foundation for on-device AI processing in iPhones. The Neural Engine, first introduced with the iPhone X and A11 Bionic chip, powers computer vision features like Face ID and Animoji. This demonstrates how failed ventures can produce valuable technological innovations with broader applications.
