Sounds like one of those "great on paper, lousy inpractice, therefore we see an article about it once and than never again" kind of stories, if I'm honest.

My alarm bells go off whenever anything is touted as “game changing” lol

A beacon which helps you to find your car is now a game changer? I'm sorry but I don't understand the significance of this. It might be because I live in a city with proper public transport and where the vast majority of the sighted people I know don't own a car.

For real though, this kind of beacon which helps you to find you car does sound kinda useful in some situations even for sighted people. For example, I think even sighted people would find this technology useful if they have to find their rental car in a garage where they have never been before.

The real problem will be the rate of deployment. The beacons became kinda useless if only few cars here and there have these beacons installed which means you can't reliably expect to find your car with this technology.

And as a sidenote, I highly doubt the autonomous cars will be a thing within next 10 years... at least where I live.

A better version of GPS could be a great thing. I hope they licence the tech and make billions rather then to just keep it to their company.

This isn’t as revolutionary as it is making it out to be or as you think it is. It already largely exist and is used mostly on buildings and for blind people to locate them. They are not cheap though.

Cool, news in the state where I live for once.
