It’s no secret that Apple has been working on developing its own car for the past few years. Known as Project Titan (or Apple Car), the venture has evolved in a few different directions during this time. While some reports claim that the Apple Car project has been shelved, other reports suggest that Apple is focusing on autonomous driving technologies.
There has been a development that increases the likelihood of the rumored Apple Car seeing the light of day. A new patent that Apple has received in the past period deals with a car sunroof with very futuristic capabilities.
Apple Car sunroof patent makes you curious
A recently discovered Apple patent details a futuristic sunroof with customizable opacity. Simply put, imagine a sunroof that lets you manually adjust the level of sunlight entering the vehicle.
Apple applied for the patent in October 2020 and managed to get it earlier this month. Apple’s patent deals with a car in which a driver can control the degree to which sunlight reflects off the window. “The variable translucent area can be controlled to allow any degree of light entry through the window,” the patent states. it’s called. Meanwhile, the patent also details a sunroof-type mechanism as a whole.
Although Apple has filed dozens of patent applications related to the automobile, including patents involving recliner seats and smart lighting systems, let us remind you that a few high-profile names have left the Project Titan team.
It was learned in September 2021 for Ford, Head of Project Titan, and in just the past two months that a handful of leading engineers have left the team. However, some optimistic analysts believe that Apple will announce a manufacturing partner for the Apple Car later this year. If this works, they predict 2025 as the release date.
As we detailed earlier, the challenges Apple faces in the auto industry are enormous. Apple has managed to change everything and revolutionize the world of technology, but the current automotive world is resisting innovating.
