品玩 7 月 29 日讯，据 EuroNews 报道，欧盟委员会正在考虑设立一个新的董事会，该董事会可能由两名反垄断高级官员领导，旨在执行严厉的新规定从而限制大型科技公司的权力。此前外界担忧欧盟竞争监管机构可能难以让 Alphabet 旗下谷歌公司、亚马逊、苹果、Meta 和微软等科技巨头遵守《数字市场法案》(Digital Markets Act)。设立新董事会可能会缓解外界这一担忧。这项具有里程碑意义的规定于今年 3 月达成，将于明年生效。他们将禁止这些公司将自己的产品设置为优先选项、迫使应用程序开发者使用他们的支付系统，并利用用户数据来推动竞争服务。据报道，欧盟委员会反垄断部门的新董事会可能由信息、通信和媒体主管 Alberto Bacchiega 领导，负责涉及科技、媒体和消费电子行业的反垄断和并购案件。Bacchiega 还可能得到电子商务和数据经济反垄断案件部门主管 Thomas Kramler 的协助，该部门目前正牵头调查苹果和亚马逊。据报道，这两位官员已经与欧盟委员会通信网络、内容和技术总局的官员保持联系，该局将共同执行《数字市场法案》。

The Information 的记者 Wayne Ma 今天发表了一篇深入的报告，详述了苹果在打造自动驾驶电动车方面的努力，包括技术上的挑战和自该项目大约八年前开始以来的几次领导层变动。报告称，该车的最新设计具有四个朝内的座椅，允许乘客彼此面对面交谈，同时还有一个类似于大众甲壳虫车顶的弧形车顶。苹果公司的设计师还在试验一种后备箱，可以自动升起以方便拿取东西，不使用时又自动降下，据说设计师们还讨论了可上升和下降的大型座椅靠背屏幕。 图源：The Infomation 苹果公司的前设计总监 Jony Ive 仍以顾问身份参与了该项目。Ive 于 2019 年离开苹果公司，创办了独立的设计公司 LoveFrom，他建议苹果汽车团队 “应该向车辆设计的怪异性倾斜，不要试图隐藏其传感器”。The Information 称，苹果公司的目标是获得美国国家公路交通安全管理局的豁免，以推出没有方向盘和刹车踏板的车辆。关于自动驾驶技术，据说苹果汽车团队已经精心制作了多个演示视频，向蒂姆 - 库克和其他高管展示。
