IBM’s patent aims to use self-driving cars’ idle resources, giving access to them to the riders within them.

Almost every tech firm and automaker wants to make cars that drive themselves...IBM’s patent aims to use those idle resources, in this case, giving access to them to the riders within them...But IBM isn’t the first company with this idea. Chinese internet giant Baidu filed a patent application in a similar vein, aiming to tap into the resources of an autonomous vehicle to create mobile data centers.
