The news has been making rounds that Apple is working on autonomous driving systems after scaling back its ‘Project Titan’ which was about the company’s plans to build a full-fledged self-driving car. Few days back the company had sent a proposal to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration requesting the government relax autonomous vehicle testing regulations for industry newcomers, this again gave rise to the speculations regarding its plan to foray into self-driving car technology.

Now Apple’s patent application for “Collision Avoidance Of Arbitrary Polygonal Obstacles,” has confirmed that the company is investigating the application of machine learning and computer vision to autonomous vehicles.

Although it is applicable to robotics, its applicability to vehicles can not be discounted. It is a basic collision avoidance technique capable of successfully navigating an environment without prior knowledge of the objects within. The system is able to operate in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional space.
