Apple Invents an Augmented Reality Windshield (patentlyapple.com)

> [...] will even Support FaceTime Calls between Different Vehicles

At first that sounded like a bad idea, but there's an important distinction:

Heads up display showing info from external sensors ... can you spell patent troll children?

Once we have autonomous vehicles, we can spare the attention to admire the windshield instead of looking at traffic and road signs. We should throw in some good movies, too.

That's such a backwards-looking patent in the era of SDC.

People should be filing patents about how to make people more comfortable in what is essentially a moving room, not trying to optimize the driving experience.

Sounds like a typical patent these days--a vague interface design full of obvious "innovations" and no technical details whatsoever. A lot of "what" and no "how". These are useful for exactly one thing: suing other companies for having the audacity to actually create a working implementation.
