Can't they just use NFC?
- rmccue 15y agoAs they mention in the patent (and the article too), it only says "reference indicator" in the patent, so this could be anything, including NFC.
- DasIch 15y agoThis is a patent and not a detailed report on what they intend to use or are implementing. Strategically speaking the optimal case is a patent to cover the process of sending directions to a car, including everything needed to request them, using any means. Everyone who produces cars will have to implement some form of that at some point to stay relevant, which makes this a very valuable patent.
- SoftwareMaven 15y agoSad that a patent could have so many ways to be implemented. Patents are supposed to be implementable. Google could hide a ton of trade secrets behind this patent.
