You think there's going to be a "McDonalds" button on the dashboard? No, you'll have to press half a dozen buttons to reroute, and so you'll have past the restaurant and won't bother. Whereas currently, your control is direct and immediate.
Although (to argue against myself), why shouldn't there be a display that shows you the upcoming businesses along your route, that you can click on to reroute? Perhaps businesses who pay extra get slightly larger visuals or video ads, or get shown for a larger radius (for example, the default is to show businesses just to the immediate left and right, but pay extra to get shown a block to the left or right). Quick, file a patent. :)
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoI use Waze on my phone for my car nav. When I am stopped, it will often pop up a small advert for something near by (usually offering some sort of deal) with a single button that says something like "Go there". Tapping that button will reroute me. If this was built into the car nav of an autonomous vehicle, I don't see why it would need to be more complicated than what we already have in other apps today.
