The Journal‘s story is based on unnamed Apple employees who are working on the project.
“Apple has several hundred employees working secretly toward creating an Apple-branded electric vehicle, according to people familiar with the matter. They said the project, code-named ‘Titan,’ has an initial design of a vehicle that resembles a minivan, one of these people said.
“An Apple spokesman declined to comment.”
