The first occupant safety system based on airbag?
Airbag system is a passive safety protection system, which can provide effective collision protection for passengers when used in conjunction with seat belts. When a car collides, the car airbag can reduce the head injury rate by 25% and the face injury rate by about 8 0%. This patent of Apple is a very detailed setting. The new patent proposes that airbags can? From the opposite side of the passenger compartment? The road to expansion. This once again shows that Apple is based on different car interior designs. Moreover, this patent can also eliminate the related problems of movable seats and adopt more novel methods to ensure that the role of airbags can be brought into greater play.
Second integrated chassis control?
This patent was put forward by Apple in response to the possibility that the car might get out of control. Once it is determined that the vehicle loses stability during driving, the electronic stability control system can apply braking to the wheels or request propulsion torque to restore the stability of the vehicle. Moreover, the electronic stability control system can judge whether the vehicle has lost stability according to the deviation between the actual measured state and the ideal state.
Third dynamic element protection
The third patent is mainly used when the car stops. It may also be dangerous when the vehicle is parked. When an object approaches the vehicle and may be hit by the door, Apple Car may block or lock the door to protect passengers. In short, when the driver is in danger, the car will automatically lock the door. At this time, the driver can't open the door, which prevents the driver from entering the dangerous environment and protects the driver's life safety.
The fourth augmented reality technology
The fourth item is to show the external environment. Let the car give the driver a continuous sense of external environment. For example, in some bad road conditions, drivers can't see other people's vehicles while driving, so the function of displaying the external environment can reflect its importance. Augmented reality technology can feed back to the driver in time according to the observed external environment, so that the driver can make a timely response.
To sum up, Apple has obtained four patents, namely airbag, integrated chassis control, dynamic element protection and augmented reality technology, and each patent describes different parts of Apple's automotive system in detail. ? Industry insiders praise that the listing of Apple Auto will inevitably affect the entire auto industry.
