Google has been working on designing a self-driving car since 2009. The company explains that the car will be equipped with a memory system to store map information, including predetermined locations for picking up and dropping off passengers.
The patent application is surfacing as Google recently announced plans to spin off its self-driving car unit into an independent entity within parent company Alphabet called Waymo. While there's no indication that the technology described in the patent application will ever be implemented into any of Google's products, it's further evidence that transportation and technology companies alike are focusing heavily on self-driving car advancements.
Launching this car will threaten Uber and Careems's business!
