Apple's widely rumored electric car (http://www.engadget.com/2015/09/21/apple-car-launch-2019/) may not be fully autonomous, but it may well have some smarts. The company has hired Jonathan Cohen (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathancohen), who until this month was the director of NVIDIA's deep learning (http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/20/facebook-and-google-ai-image-creation/) division -- in other words, a form of artificial intelligence. Cohen's LinkedIn profile only mentions that he's working on a nebulous "software" effort at Apple. However, his most recent job at NVIDIA centered around technology like Drive PX (http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/05/nvidia-drive-cx-px/), a camera-based autopilot system for cars that can identify and react to specific vehicle types. While there's a chance that Cohen could be working on AI for iOS or the Mac, it won't be surprising if he brings some self-driving features to Cupertino's first car, such as hands-off lane changing (http://www.engadget.com/2015/10/14/Tesla-autosteer-drive/) or parking.
