Google has been developing self-driving car technology since 2009, and the company is reportedly planning to launch its own ride-sharing service that could rival Uber and Lyft. Now, a recently published Google patent application provides some insight as to how the search giant might deploy autonomous taxis capable of knowing where to meet passengers despite unforeseeable road circumstances. The patent application, which is dated December 2016 and was discovered by blog Patent Yogi and The Verge, describes a memory system for self-driving cars to store map information, including predetermined locations for picking up and dropping off passengers.
