What next, planes which can only fly south because Boeing have a patent on North?
- ilcavero 14y agohow about a a patent for parallel parking
- dredmorbius 14y agoYou kid. But with driverless cars emerging, I suspect we may well see just that.
- gaius 14y agoThe idea of parallel parking cannot be patented. A specific machine for parallel parking can be (and indeed should be, the inventors of a machine to do something that even many humans struggle with, should be well rewarded).
- ajuc 14y agoSo if there were people in this satellite steering it, the patent wouldn't apply? And if the satelite was remote controlled from Earth by a living pilot - would the patent apply then?
- DanEdge 14y agoYou can already buy a Lexus which parallel parks for you. Don't know which, if any, elements are patented though.
- dredmorbius 14y agoThat thought occurred to me moments after I posted.
