^apple dont develop things, they just have ideas, or scribbles on napkins.

Your assumption may be right Doug. Samsung makes automobiles, boats, ships, trains in Korea. But, you would only see Samsung ships here because they can't compete with Hyundai and Kia in importing automobiles.

More like Samsung sold most of it's ownership to Renault back in the late 90's. Their cars are just modified Nissan design's. Very popular inside South Korea, they didn't sell well overseas.

Samsung makes just about everything in the ROK, goes with being a chaebol business.

This is stupid. I should have patented it first, even if i could never build one -_-

Could be used in their robotic vacuum cleaners.

Apple doesn't develop things, their CEO divines physical incantations of energy waves in the metaphysical plane of subzero coolness.

You are correct. Apple already patented "A thing that looks like something, and when something is done, something happens". I expect a court hearing within a few days.

"could be a stepping stone toward autonomous driving systems."

Could this maybe be used in Job's dream of an iCar ?
