A few days ago, we reported that Polaris had filed patents related to autonomous vehicle systems and that the system itself could be either remotely controlled or used in a fully autonomous mode. And in that story, RideApart posited that the patent was likely for the company's military and defense business, as it would allow the aftermarket to lead in developing autonomous vehicle systems for its MRZR platform.
Still, it could've been just another command-and-control module for parking, as we've seen those patents from the company in the past. However, it wasn't likely, as the patent's details revealed that a lot of emphasis was put into driverless controls and remote operation. It seems that we were correct in our assumption, too.
