San Francisco: A new report says Apple is speeding up work on a project that could lead to the California tech giant building its own electric car.

The Wall Street Journal says Apple has set an internal timetable for a project, code-named Titan, that involves development of an electric vehicle. The newspaper said Apple has set a 'ship date' of 2019, although that could just be a target for engineers to sign off on the design not when a car would be available for sale.
