Apple may have canceled its plans for an Apple Car, but the tech giant continues to be granted patents regarding vehicle design. The latest (number US 119452879 B1) is for a “Motion Control System” — that is, a suspension system for a car.
The patent involves a “fully-actuated suspension system” configured to be installed in a vehicle. A “suspension actuator” feature could communicate road condition information to at least one occupant of the vehicle. The patent also involves a suspension system, configured to be installed in a vehicle that connects and interacts with a braking system.
Here’s Apple’s abstract of the patent: “A motion control system is coupled to a first mass and a second mass and is configured to regulate motion of the first mass with respect to the second mass. The motion control system is configured to increase a contact area between the second mass and a surface on which the second mass rests by increasing a displacement of the motion control system from a neutral position in a direction toward the first mass.”
