As Apple continues its work on self-driving cars, one of its most prominent executives is moving to the Project Titan team. According to a report from Business Insider, Kevin Lynch is set to join the team working on the car project.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lynch is Apple's Vice President of Technology and has played a key role in developing the Apple Watch and its associated health features. His title as VP of Technology will not change as a result of this move, the report<\/a>But his focus will shift to the Apple Car. Some details remain unclear, however. Evan Doll, who serves as Apple's director of health software engineering, will take over some of Lynch's duties on the Health team, which is led by Jeff Williams. The report states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple Car: Project has changed several times in scope<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Lynch will step away from Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams' healthcare team, which also includes Dr. Sumbul Desai, head of healthcare delivery and regulatory affairs, Myra Haggerty, who leads algorithms, Eugene Kim, head of watch hardware, and other key drivers of healthcare strategy. Evan Doll, a director of health software engineering, will replace Lynch on the staff. While Doll will continue to report to Lynch, Lynch's absence from that team, which houses the company's decision-makers, means he will be less involved in healthcare strategy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Apple Car project is currently led by John Giannandrea, Apple's senior vice president of machine learning and artificial intelligence. The project has changed in scope several times over the years, but Apple is currently focused on building a self-driving system that it can use for an Apple-branded car that will be manufactured in collaboration with a manufacturing partner.
