OTHER Apple Car, the first patent filed by the Cupertino seems to be for an articulated vehicle. In the document, published by patents and registered trademarks in the United States and granted on August 9, it describes “a steering device for an articulated vehicle which improves reliability while driving.” A ” giant ” of the road, in short, which enables a better control, while steering, the two parts that make up the articulated vehicle, especially in adverse conditions, for example in case of snow or ice, thanks to a system of ventilation. the means that are part of the articulated vehicle category range from trucks with trailers to military vehicles, also including trams and articulated buses. And the means described in the patent seems to focus mainly on the steering details. The accompanying images, actually appear to show a tracked vehicle, and indeed in the description we talk about the connection between the two halves of the vehicle as the most “exposed to external impacts, such as the fire in a war situation”. The patent awarded to Apple, in fact, the inventors are of BAE Systems, the Swedish company that deals with military vehicles. But, in the absence of any confirmation from Apple, Patentlyapple.com invites to go easy on the conjectures: ” Considering that the aim of the Project Titan is to be on a winning electric vehicle, able to compete with Tesla Motors, – reads the post. a patent on a clumsy articulated vehicle is clearly not the image that Apple would want to return to the public. “ One thing is certain to suffer a real steering should be the Project Titan, given the company’s choice to award Bob Mansfield – a former executive of Cupertino Jobs era and creator Macbook Air, iPad and iMac – the role of leader in the development in the automotive industry. But the electric car assumptions autonomous driving still remains a real mystery.
