FACT: The QR code standard was created by a car manufacturing firm as an alternative to barcodes, meant to store more data while remaining just as easy to scan. While it was initially meant for private use, they neglected to enforce their patent on the standard, and it started being used publicly.
Also, there is no such things as “running out of QR codes”. That's like saying that we've run out of SHA256 hashes.
