Will this be a trend? I saw the nVidia offering as a sole source solution most automakers will resist. At the same time I applaud their efforts to take a leadership position in software, however closed it really is. GPU based autonomous tries to mimic the human eye, but may limit the brain functions needed as well.

Crowdsourced road information using the cloud seems to be the only way to get these accurate, real-time maps. What will be needed is a standard way to share the data among dissimilar car brands. Anyone? Anyone?

It’s really sad that 802.11p (5.9 Ghz DSRC for Connected Vehicles) never got this much attention and rapid pace toward deployment – whose fault was that? There was plenty of money thrown at it.

Five Platinum level members (including Mazda, Toyota and 3 key suppliers) is a serious commitment with funding to enable collaborative development beyond just words. I think AGL may actually reach the goals many have been seeking around open automotive software.

C3P0 once said “R2-D2, you know better than to trust a strange computer!” This Hollywood line applies quite nicely to the nearly 100 strange computers in your car.

I think this is big, and could set Ford apart, until others catch up. QNX integration is a good testimony to their developers talent and their planners requirements setting. I wonder how far behind SDL open source version will be under GENIVI Alliance control?
