Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft filed 1 patent application in H1 2026, covering Hardware (1).
The company's filing describes a system that repurposes existing in-car door-panel control screens as networked gaming consoles for passengers. Connected via Ethernet, the displays typically used for comfort controls can host multiplayer gaming sessions within the vehicle.
On the Hardware side, 1 patent describes a system that transforms the door-panel control screens already built into a vehicle into a multiplayer gaming network. Rather than introducing separate dedicated Hardware, the approach connects these existing passenger-facing displays through the car's native Ethernet and WLAN gateway, allowing riders in different seats to participate in synchronized gameplay. The screens, ordinarily used to adjust comfort settings, serve as the input and display surfaces for the gaming experience.
