CTOnews.com, January 15 (Xinhua) Apple applied for a patent on Apple Car door technology a year ago, and now the company has applied for two door technology patents again with the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO).

The first item is "a car door with adaptive positioning". Apple says in its patent that future autopilot will no longer require a driver, which means that the door system will no longer need to be hinged.

CTOnews.com learned that the door in the patent is controlled independently by the adaptive door positioning system. The door is not opened and closed in a fixed and non-adjustable manner, but can be positioned adaptively. For example, a door can be positioned adaptively based on sensor data or user input.

The door can be adaptively positioned to avoid collision with obstacles (for example, nearby vehicles), so as to make it easier for passengers to enter the vehicle from a given direction, to get off in narrow parking spaces, and to adapt to sloping roads.

The second patent relates to Door Latch System. This patent can be deployed in a variety of models, including passenger cars, and can selectively open the door.

In one embodiment, the door lock system includes a door, a door actuator, a latch, a firing pin, a firing pin actuator and a controller. The door can be moved between the open position and the closed position relative to the door opening of the car body.
