The executive leading Apple Inc.’s development of an electric car is leaving the company, according to two people familiar with the move.

Steve Zadesky, who was tapped by Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook to shepherd Apple’s bid to enter the automobile market, stepped down for personal reasons, not because of his performance, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified discussing Apple personnel matters.
