You're so funny. This is a world of proprietary technology.
- 3chelon 10y agoWhat can I say? I'm an idealist :)
- ryandrake 10y agoExactly. At best we'll have 15 different standards, and Fords only talk to Fords, Toyotas only talk to Toyotas, and they all speak different incompatible protocols.
- iamatworknow 10y agoJust think of all the integration programming jobs that will be preserved! All of the pointless conference calls and GoToMeetings scheduled weeks in advance between developers and project managers and teams on the other side of the world because someone made a typo in an API specification that could have easily been cleared up in a two-second email.
- ryandrake 10y agoGood times ahead! The hardware stacks will all likely be different too, so gravy train for all the HW and systems folks too. dozens of companies all re-inventing the same thing is why tech still has full employment.
- Gracana 10y agoActually, the hardware guys already have it solved. We already know how to do bus arbitration, and cars are like little buses. CANbus could work, and it's already used in the automotive world. It's nice because the higher-priority bus driver is not delayed. Unfortunately, the lower priority one gets run over. Might have to work on that.
- amelius 10y agoYou're being optimistic. The worst that can happen is that cars of different brands start lying to eachother.
- vidarh 10y agoUntil regulators in a sufficiently large market decides that since the tech is available, either the manufacturers decide on a standard or they get one imposed on them, the same way EU sabre-rattling led to the standardization of mobile chargers.
