Thanks to developments in Japan, drivers could soon be getting their hands on their hamburgers much quicker by ordering it through their satnav system.
According to the Telegraph, a highly advanced in-car "Intel Transport System" (ITS), which is already being used in Japan for navigation, will now use wireless to allow drivers or their passengers to select items off a Mcdonald's menu thus allowing them to order their dinner before they physically reach the establishment.
The function is only available when drivers are within a set distance (of a couple of kilometres) of the restaurant, with the options chosen on the satnav screen relayed through the ITS network to the relevant establishment.
If the user uses an e-wallet or e-payment scheme, then payment could even be taken automatically, to make the process even less disruptive.
