Apple’s autonomous vehicle project, also known as “Project Titan,” may incorporate an incredibly different bumper upon its arrival.
Per a recently published patent for a patent filed in 2016, Apple’s bumper would include an inflatable structure between the bumper cover and car body. It would also be able to retract to reduce the length of the car for parking. Apple says an extended bumper changes the initial point of collision.
It’s definitely an interesting idea and we’ll have to see what comes of it.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
