Apple has been working on autonomous vehicle tech for a while, but details on its progress are scant because the company likes to keep things under wraps. Now, The New York Times reports that the Cupertino giant has teamed up with Volkswagen to turn its T6 Transporter vans into self-driving shuttles.

They’ll be used to ferry employees between Apple’s various offices spread across Silicon Valley. The company curtailed its ambitious Project Titan last August to focus on short-haul shuttle vehicles rather than general-purpose automobiles. The NYT also notes that ‘hundreds’ of people working on this project have dropped out of it; two years ago, it had more than 1,000 team members developing self-driving tech.
