Apple has canceled its plans to release an electric car with self-driving abilities, a secretive product that had been in the works for nearly a decade, the BBC reports.

The company has plans to cut more than 600 jobs after reportedly dropping its self-driving car plans.
The majority of the cuts come from the address of the site which was working on the recently abandoned self-driving car project in California, according to Bloomberg.
The state's employment department was notified on March 28 that 614 staff will be laid off in May.
Artists renderings of the proposed, now stalled, vehicle, show a far chunkier and swoopy vehicle, but otherwise resembling many high-end EVs on the market or currently in development. Several more established automakers, including Tesla, are scaling back production, slashing prices or even in some cases, such as Apple, are seemingly abandoning EVs in the face of lackluster sales.
