Project Titan is not dead. Or, at least, the investigations that continue to emerge on the occasion of Apple’s mythological autonomous car. The company has just received a patent in which a system makes it possible to modify the tint of the windows of a car, with the intention of avoiding inconvenience to passengers.
Selective dyeing of objects, areas and people inside the vehicle
The United States Patent and Trademark Office and according to Patently Apple, has just granted Apple a patent on a dynamic tinting system for a vehicle. The system consists of a vehicle, various tint patterns and a tint film.
Apparently, the system would be able to automatically cover areas inside the vehicle. In order to protect objects, interior elements and occupants sunlight. According to the publication, the system responds to direct requests to tint the vehicle windows (we understand this via Siri).
But it is also able to adjust automatically if it perceives that one of the occupants frowns by sunlight or puts his hand like a visor. Various sensors would be able to detect these movements, as long as the user was looking outside.
In addition to increasing traveler comfort, it can also be used to increase occupant privacy by reducing the light that oozes from inside. Of course, this technology shows that Apple is still interested in transport vehicles.
