AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES REQUIRE INDUSTRY
COOPERATION, NOT LAWS
Social media that obliterates
borders and treats the world
as one gigantic community,
autonomous cars, smart
homes and Internet of Things
(IoT) are changing everything.
Or, as deep thinkers like to
say, they are disrupters to
everything.
It's not a real big deal (more

Brazil, Hungary, Saudi
Arabia, Indonesia, Kenya and

groups and associations like
IEEE, SMPTE, ITU, CTA, SIA,
OICA, TIA and thousands of
others (check the acronyms

stuff somewhat work the way

suppliers, service providers,
partners and rivals are finding
The U.S., European Union
(EU); Russia; India; China, oh

to how a company will act and
compete inside their borders
and firms have previously just
considered abiding by these
oversights as a cost of doing
business in the respective
country.

have had to form alliances,
develop universal standards
and establish ecosystem
guidelines so things work
smoothly with things in homes
they must invest in/work
openly with each other to
build a seamless, compatible,
compliant infrastructure
that works across industrial
sectors and borders.
It's often called coopetition
(cooperative competition). It
can be messy, but it beats
bureaucrats setting the rules.
Innovation at a Price –
Advances in autonomous
transportation--and every
technology breakthrough--is
a matter of trial and error.
