It won't happen. Car companies suffer from a huge NIH syndrome. The entire parts supply chain benefits from re-engineering everything. Its baked into the culture.
- ocdtrekkie 11y agoAt the very least, any inter-car communication will need to be standardized. And even if they add some proprietary cruft to ensure replacement parts are acquired directly from them, it's likely over time the different technologies developed by different manufacturers will start to converge.
- bliti 11y agoI don't think this will happen either. Manufacturers won't even standardize connectors. It's futile because it's cultural.
- ocdtrekkie 11y agoWe managed to get OBD2 standards out there. And driving systems are a matter of public safety.
- bliti 11y agoTrue, although the obd standard defines an interface and not an implementation. Which would make things much simpler. I hate to be a Debbie downer but it just seems impossible.
- ocdtrekkie 11y agoWe've got a while for them to figure it out. I don't see self-driving cars in consumer hands for a decade or so.
- bliti 11y agoTrue. I'd say semi autonomous in a decade and fully in twice that due to infrastructure costs.
- tim333 11y agoWhat about the majority of manufacturers who are not developing self driving cars? There may be a market there for a bolt on solution.
