Imoto ezimele yakwa-Apple ibe nengozi yemoto yokuqala

Besilokhu sikhuluma ngeqiniso lokuthi i-Apple ibihlola izimoto zayo ezizimele izinyanga ezimbalwa manje babhala izikhathi eziningana kakade. Ukubukeka kwalezi zimoto kwaziwa kakhulu, njengoba bezilokhu zibambisene njalo emigwaqweni yaseCalifornia kusukela ngentwasahlobo edlule. Ngemuva kwezinyanga ezimbalwa zokuhlolwa, izimoto ezizimele ze-Apple nazo zibe nengozi yazo yokuqala yemoto, yize zibambe iqhaza elingenzi lutho kuyo.

Ulwazi mayelana nengozi yokuqala yalezi "zimoto ezihlakaniphile" luvele esidlangalaleni izolo. Isigameko bekumele senzeke ngo-Agasti 24, ngesikhathi umshayeli wenye imoto eshayisa isivivinyo iLexus RX450h ngemuva. I-Lexus yakwa-Apple yayikumodi yokuhlola ezimele ngaleso sikhathi. Ingozi yenzeke lapho kuqhamuka khona umgwaqo, kanti ngokolwazi kuze kube manje, umshayeli wenye imoto unephutha ngokuphelele. ILexus evivinyiwe icishe yema njengoba ilinde ukuthi kuphume umzila ukuze ishintshele egiyeni. Ngaleso sikhathi, iNissan Leaf eyayihamba kancane (cishe i-15 mph, okungukuthi cishe i-25 km/h) yamshaya ngemuva. Zombili lezi zimoto zilimale kungekho kulimala kwabasebenzi.

Yile ndlela izimoto ezizimele zokuhlola ze-Apple ezibukeka ngayo (umthombo: Macrumors):

Ulwazi lwengozi lunemininingwane eminingi ngenxa yomthetho wase-California, odinga ukubikwa ngokushesha kwanoma yiziphi izingozi ezibandakanya izimoto ezizimele emigwaqweni yomphakathi. Kulokhu, irekhodi lengozi livele kuphothali ye-inthanethi yoMnyango Wezimoto waseCalifornia.

E-Cupertino, i-Apple ihlola zombili inqwaba yalawa ma-Lexuse amhlophe, cishe ayishumi, kodwa futhi isebenzisa amabhasi akhethekile azimele athutha abasebenzi ukuya nokubuya emsebenzini. Endabeni yabo, akukaze kwenzeke ingozi yomgwaqo. Akukacaci ngokuphelele ukuthi i-Apple ithuthukisa ngayiphi inhloso ubuchwepheshe bokushayela izimoto ezizimele. Ukuqagela kwasekuqaleni mayelana nokuthuthukiswa kwemoto kubonakale kungalungile ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, njengoba i-Apple ihlela kabusha yonke iphrojekthi izikhathi eziningana. Ngakho-ke manje kunenkulumo yokuthi inkampani yenza uhlobo oluthile lwe-"plug-in system" ukuze lunikeze abakhiqizi bezimoto. Nokho, kuzomele silinde eminye iminyaka embalwa ukuze yethulwe.
