So what's the deal about Apple making an electrical car? Tesla chief Elon Musk said it's Apple's "open secret."

According to CBC, the project of Apple, which is formerly codenamed as Project Titan, came to light when electric car battery maker A 123 systems sued the company. Apparently, Apple has been pirating A 123's top engineers to work for them. That time, Tesla has already lost at least 60 engineers, all of whom have transferred to Apple to work on the said project.

The target date of launching for Apple's electric car is said to be in 2019. Apple officials have been meeting with California officials about electric car driving regulations.

In his interview with BBC, Musk confirmed what has been rumored for so long -- that Apple is actually making an electric car. He said the obvious fact that Apple is hiring at least 1,000 engineers to work on the project is something that the company can't hide. Tesla is one of the electric car makers that competes with Nissan and BMW on the innovation. With Apple adding to the competition, Musk says that he doesn't feel threatened at all.

"The third part of our strategy which is quite what you say, high volume, low cost car and we expect to be in prduction of that in the middle of this year."

Meanwhile, BBC reports that Tesla has one of the most innovative electric cars so far in the business. Tesla's Model S currently sells at around £56,000 to £85,000, depending on the type of performance chosen. Given how they are categorized as electric cars, the battery options have everything to do with the current trend of choosing the best.

Electric cars have standardized the high-tech visions of engineers when it comes to performance. Through Tesla's newest autopilot feature, consumers can take advantage of its ability to keep you in lane, adjust your speed whenever a car tries to overtake and change lanes at ease.

A beta feature of Tesla's electric car has also been revealed last week. It showed how the car owner can summon it by just using its compatible smartphone app.

Musk said, "[With] The current version of Summon, the car will come and find you if you're on private property. The car will exit the garage, close the garage behind it and come over to you."

Last week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas showcased some of the best engineering innovations in the car industry, but Musk said that electrification and autonomy have been by far the best of them all.
