The Rumors about the unmanned vehicle from Apple, codenamed Titan went a long time. However, apparently, the Cupertino-based company revised its plans regarding this project and decided to use their experience in this field to create systems of Autonomous driving. It could be licensed to manufacturers who do not wish to waste money and time-consuming development. At least in favor of this statement says a recently posted online video on which shows the system of self-rule from Apple.
The world wide web video posted McAlister Higgins, co-founder of a startup for the development of drones Voyage. For the first time lit up in the Twitter feed of Mr. Higgins. The test platform was chosen crossover Lexus RX450h. According to the eyewitness, the design of the built 12 lidar: 6 pieces front and rear. Lidar (LIDAR, Light Identification Detection and Ranging) — a device for receiving and processing information about objects using active optical systems. In other words, it is an active range finder using for their own purposes optics. In addition to lidar on the platform, likely installed and all the necessary electronics. The construction itself is fairly easy to install and can be used on most vehicles.
It is Worth saying that, despite the fact that Apple is already the second time uses for tests Lexus vehicles (the first time such a system was able to capture this spring), kupertinovtsy still no contract with any of the brands. So after the official release of the Apple company will need to actively seek buyers. Unlike competitors in the face of, for example, Waymo, which actively cooperates with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles officially using for testing the car Chrysler Pacifica. well, the very system from Apple you can see in the video below.
