Apple has accelerated its layout in the field of driverless cars. Not only did it admit for the first time that it was involved in the field of driverless cars a few days ago, it also recently applied for a patent for an automatic collision avoidance system for driverless cars. This patent may become a solution for the basic telemetry technology of driverless cars in the future. Apple's patent is called "Arbitrary Polygon Obstacle Avoidance Collision System", which indirectly proves that Apple is testing machine learning and computer vision automatic agent systems. This system is designed for robots and has the words of self-driving cars. The technology details a basic collision avoidance system through the navigation environment without a pre-determined target. In particular, it can complete difficult tasks in two-dimensional and three-dimensional space. Apple's technology can be applied to prevent convex and concave surfaces from becoming obstacles for stationary collision targets during movement. More importantly, for self-driving cars, the collision avoidance system can further avoid collisions by identifying the edges of obstacles through simple geometric patterns. Self-driving cars usually predict the location of the space in front of them in a limited time and operate their field of view through cameras and other hardware sensors. This expansion can take advantage of more powerful optical systems, processors and complex obstacle detection algorithms to avoid obstacles. Apple's new patent enables self-driving cars to update the road conditions around the car 60 times per second and detect multiple oncoming obstacles. More specifically, it can detect the edge distance of each obstacle and avoid it. It has long been an open secret that Apple is developing driverless car technology. Recently, Apple asked the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to relax the government's regulations on driverless car testing, which also shows that Apple is indeed developing driverless cars. Earlier, Apple's car-making project "Project Titan" was exposed. This plan includes the development of electric cars like Tesla and self-driving cars. There are also reports that Apple will launch the "Apple Car" in 2021, which may be an electric car with assisted driving function. Now it seems that Apple is more willing to play the role of software in the automotive industry, which is its strength. Apple has entered the automotive field through the CarPlay system. However, this function of projecting iOS screen to the car's central control screen has not been popularized, and it cannot really change the car driving experience. It now seems that Apple's ambition for cars is far more than just this superficial. Instead, it hopes to enter the automotive industry more deeply. Therefore, driverless cars tested by Apple may appear on American roads in the near future. Now, driverless cars from Google, Uber, Ford, and Baidu have all obtained permission to conduct road tests in certain states in the United States. As a winner of Toutiao's Qingyun Plan and Baijiahao's Bai+ Plan, the 2019 Baidu Digital Author of the Year, the Baijiahao's Most Popular Author in the Technology Field, the 2019 Sogou Technology and Culture Author, and the 2021 Baijiahao Quarterly Influential Creator, he has won many awards, including the 2013 Sohu Best Industry Media Person, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Beijing Third Place, the 2015 Guangmang Experience Award, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Finals Third Place, and the 2018 Baidu Dynamic Annual Powerful Celebrity. |
