My product is creating sensors and a common language and system that could integrate with any car so that cars can communicate with each other about their surroundings in order to prevent fatal crashes.
As the opportunity being that the number of fatal crashes due to human error are enormous and a possible way to fix this was to introduce machines that are programmed to be perfect would be able to counter the human error. As a result, this would reduce the amount of crashes.
Our product which is like what Tesla is working on would instead be an independent product instead of being made into a car like Tesla. The product would be the sensors and the programming required that would allow other cars to communicate each other and as a system have any car react to any situation that arises from ,maybe a possible crash. Instead of putting it in a car though we will make it separately and then license it so the technology will only be owned by us. As a result instead of selling a car, we would license the technology to other companies as a result so the customers would be the car customers who would pay us to use the technology in their cars such as the movable side mirrors were created and implemented into cars. Also as a result the product can be implemented into any car company that uses the technology which would allow cars from different companies to communicate with cars from another company creating a standard way for them to communicate instead of different companies creating their own and having their own programming.
I find your opportunity as well as your product idea very fascinating. So, what I reading here is that for your product you plan on implementing to prevent fatal car crashes by placing a system into cars that allows the to communicate with other cars no matter what company they were made by. It’s almost like giving a car intelligence and it could end up saving a lot of lives.
ReplyDeleteI believe the opportunity is definitely there but I am not sure if this solution is currently possible. As you said, Tesla is researching and developing ways to revolutionize driving as we currently know it, but making a device that the driver can just add to their car seems unrealistic. Not the fact that a product cannot be created but there must be some way to enforce that all drivers install this on their car. If everyone doesn't buy into the new thinking, then we will not move forward into safer commuting. Another question I would like to propose is the thought with updating. I have a Mac and it is constantly asking to update. Does this technology update automatically or do you have to take it in to get serviced? Who pays for this service? There will be a lot of questioning and resistance at first but if everyone stays focused on the problem that is trying to be solved, they will look pass these smaller issues.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very technical problem you've identified; but to commment on your solution I think it is very much a good plan, but the integration of such a concept is is impossible at the technical level nowadays. You'd face roadblocks from Congress and other automobile lobbyists not wishing to fully integrate the internet with a vehicles operation due to the possibility of tampering, and the technology necessary for this would have an insane price.
