Apple won 58 Patents today covering an Autonomous Vehicle Lane Change System and an Odd one covering future Wearables

In this particular report we briefly cover a Project Titan patent relating to an autonomous vehicle lane change system along with a unique, yet odd, wearables patent. The patent describes an approach for an integrated decision making and trajectory determination solution for lane change maneuver motion planning. When a lane change is feasible, the decision making component may provide the trajectory determination component with an identification of the chosen gap, a temporal parametrization of the phases of the lane change maneuver, and an initial guess for the acceleration profile to be used during the lane change maneuver. In contrast, this approach uses a new planner for lane change which uses different cost functions, maneuver windows and constraints suited for lane change. 1 below is an illustration of an example of a lane change maneuver of a vehicle; FIG.
