Ooooops, Nikola Tesla patented my car entry remote !

Nikola Tesla, the prolific Serbian-American inventor and radio pioneer, filed a U.S. patent, granted on March 17, 1903 which doesn’t mention the phrase “frequency hopping” directly, but certainly alludes to it. Entitled “Method of Signaling,” the patent describes a system that would enable radio communication “without any danger of the signals or messages begin disturbed, intercepted, interfered with in any way”.
But, there is more.
Hedy Lamarr and George Antheil’s patent describes a mechanical system for frequency hopping spread spectrum technology to remotely control torpedoes.   Year 1942.
