Patent Expert Reacts to Apple Car Patents
Patent Attorney Robert Sachs stopped by the CNET offices to explain and vet some odd Apple Patents for automobiles — ones that could hint at what an Apple Car could look like. Are any of these ideas viable? Will they make driving more safe and enjoyable? Or will they distract drivers? Find out what the…

I thought he was gonna present the patents and explain what they meant, and he did that while adding his opinion and that he Wants to drive fast cars.
driving is tedious, driving a sports car for fun vs driving a regular sedan to work aren’t the same. I bet most people would rather be able to catch up on studies, watch shows, news or even nap than drive, Apple is trying to make that possible while in motion.

I think the VR being adaptive to the current conditions of the drive is actually to reduce motion sickness.

As cool as we think it is, I believe that holographic heads-up displays would likely cause more accidents due to imagery popping into the field of view all the time, causing distractions. But time will tell.

A lot of these patents seem to assume that Apple will have level 5 autonomous technology, where the car drives itself zero human attention. Apple certainly has the software engineers and the compute power to match Tesla in chasing level 5, but they have no real world data, and data, immense amounts of data, is a requirement to get there.
But I do not think that your romantic view of the fun of driving is reality. Most people spend most of their time in traffic driving around in the city they live in, not driving on gorgeous twisting mountain roads. Most of the time, once freed from the task of driving, people will want to be entertained instead of watching traffic crawl along around them.

knowing Apple if they made an EV they would have a propriety charging network that only its EVs can use and ask owners to cough up $10k a year for “membership” cos its “worth it”

Yall don’t make any sense, apple put the lighting port on their devices since the iPhone 5, android was still struggling with micro USB and it was some time before usb c, and what would you pay 10k a year for? If you buy an apple product you don’t need to buy something that you pay yearly, you can buy services, but that’s also on Android

How to make any part magnetic. Repulsive to everything like matrix ships. Earth is full of magnets. We’ve lived future before. Did you try if you put a magnet on sand you get iron always. Anywhere.

I suppose a passenger could attend a Zoom meeting with a virtual headset and get work done during a boring commute the scenery of which they have seen a thousand times. Apple is clearly looking towards a fully autonomous vehicle and possibly then TAAS (transportation as a service) where the car is summoned, arrives and take the passengers where they want to go. It seems though that fully autonomous remains some years off because computers cannot make good “decisions” in all of the infinitely variable situations drivers can be presented with. Too much programming required and then clunky response times even with the fastest of processors and memory systems.

I think the virtual headset is more about apple adding their own advertising content as you are travelling dedicated to the profile of the passenger.

Ladies and gentleman and everyone in between, for those who don’t know, this apple car is not meant for you to own or have opinions with like driving it. The car apple wants build is supposed to be an autonomous taxi. Something we should see by 2030. It makes sense for an autonomous vehicle to go and charge it self at this special charging in their patent. All the patents make sense for this autonomous car. I don’t think this guy realized that’s what apple is making these patents for.
Robert Sachs
August 21, 2022 at 10:13 pm
I did realize this. Not all of the patents here “makes sense for this autonomous car.” The active glare suppression and the AR patent assume a human driver.

I had to stop watching. “Either Apple wants to hide their real design, or Apple thinks that what a car should look like”. 🤦🏻♂️ He’s not even joking around their, he legit sounds like he thinks it’s possible that Apple is designing a box for an EV.

The patent at 2:00 is to ensure the passengers don’t get motion sickness as images can be displayed far out in the distance so people can work without getting fatigued in this way.

August 21, 2022 at 8:02 pm
These patents are a complete joke, but I suppose that’s just how it is with monopolies; patent everything you can think of before others do

I also feel the physical vehicle will be very bare bones, however AR glasses would essentially be the UI for the vehicle. So the AR glasses could be a required accessory for the vehicle. The AR glasses could be multi functional and also work at home watching a suspended tv in the living room with friends, or on the Mac, looking next to the display to reveal a complete AR experience to compliment the work. Essentially the phone will still be valuable to some extent, but AR glasses will definitely be the next platform frontier.

This man keeps saying this is ruining driving, but really this is making the road trip capable of having additional and more productive experiences. People still ride horses. People will still drive cars, just not Apple. Theirs will be a whole new frontier for sure. Good stuff.
Anthony Bruno
August 21, 2022 at 8:13 pm
I personally believe that Apple is going to partner with maybe one or two manufacturers to put their technology in a car. But the only thing that would prevent that from happening is Apple’s normal caginess to sharing technology to outside companies.

An Apple car would be only self driving because that would mean more time using apple products and services and that means more 💰💰💰💰.

It should not really be valid to sit at your desk and dream up fantasy future tech ideas and place patents on them. This makes a mockery of what the patent system is supposed to be all about (protecting genuine innovation and the investment behind it). These are all small ideas (ideas that many people could have come up with in many places in a limited amount of time). Unless the patent industry is shaken up soon, it is going to become a major block to innovation. The people out there who are genuinely productive, genuinely capable of innovation, are going to be constantly tripping over patents written in some guys bedroom during an idle Sunday afternoon. This needs fixing!!!!

Many of these patents are just for “statistics for the anual report for investors”…
For a large corporation such as Apple, filing a useless patent is “cheap as chips” and can serve a multitude of reasons: Distracting competitors, pleasing investors, etc…
Some years ago I had a minor job on the R&D department of a major European helicopter manufacturer, and a colleague of mine told me that they (and their competitors) often file patents for ideas (valid or not) that they don’t intend to pursue/develop, just to block the other competitors from pursuing it freely…
