That's false. The Waymo-Uber case contains patent claims, though 3 of the 4 were dropped at the judge's suggestion. So it seems that Google has patented quite a few aspects of their self-driving vehicles. The article I found didn't list the patent they're still pursuing against Uber, but here's the 3 patents Google decided not to pursue:

- kuschku 9y agoGood, now link me the source code and 3D definition files required to replicate that without any further work. That’s what should be provided with patents, as I said in the original comment.
- curun1r 9y agoWhat if the source code is in a different language from the one you use? Should a patent force Google to port their code specifically for you? What if the 3D files are for an expensive program that's different from the one you use? Should a patent force Google to convert their files for use with every 3D modeling program? Patents are about telling you how to do the work, not about doing it for you.
