Apple’s Plans For Self-Driving Car Shows Major Progress In Tech Invention Field

The blinding speed of technological advancements was a common theme of the 20^th Century. Primitive biplanes became jets flying faster than the speed of sound. Diseases that were once considered a death sentence were eradicated. Music that once had to be pressed on to a record could be download from the Internet -- the latter arguably being one of the most important creations of all time.

It’s funny then that during these past 17 years of the 21^st Century, so many dated forms of technology are still in service. Think about it: The passenger jetliners of today look relatively untouched compared to what came out in the wake of World War II. While we’re not asking anyone to reinvent the wheel here, it makes sense then that the digital advances we’ve seen in the past 40 years are now being put to use in all sorts of ways never before dreamed possible.

In a recent interview with Bloomberg’s Technology department, Apple CEO Tim Cook explained that the tech giant is doubling down on its plans for self-driving vehicles. They aren’t alone, as BMW, General Motors and Fiat all have their eyes on a similar prize.  According to the report, Apple has actually put a number of self-driving SUVs on roads in San Francisco, California. Cook went on to say that the self-driving technology, combined with electric vehicles that are already on the market and ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft are changing the automotive landscape.

 “It’s a core technology that we view as very important,” Cook told the news organization for its June 2017 piece, adding that it is “probably one of the most difficult AI projects to work on.”

The sheer amount of resources that Apple has poured into the so-called “Project Titan” is encouraging to companies that help members of the public develop and produce inventions. If you have a great idea for a new invention, try researching TriStar Inc products review. By seeking out companies capable of turning your idea in a blockbuster product on store shelves across the country, there’s no doubt that amateur inventors will benefit.
