Mysterious Arizona facility tied to Apple Car testing

A vehicle testing facility in Arizona

A mysterious Arizona vehicle proving ground seems to belong to Apple for autonomous vehicle testing, and new evidence may prove it.

According to a report from Car and Driver, Apple seems to be present at an Arizona proving ground previously rumored to have been purchased by a shell corporation named Route 14 Investment Partners. Between an identical vehicle and sensor housing sighted at the facility and literal signs pointing to Apple — it seems suspicions are correct.

Long story short, after some quality reporting work, the Car and Driver reporters were able to connect Apple’s Ken Lynch to Route 14 Investment Partners… kind of. While nothing is certain, it seems [email protected] belongs to the same Ken Lynch working at Apple, and both have phone numbers with Silicon Valley area codes with nearly identical outgoing messages.
