Abstract

It is a common question: when a new and useful technology is identified, what does it take to bring this into production and into the hands of the consumer? The answer is never “everything, everywhere, all at once,” and almost never is technology the primary determining factor for such deployment. This presentation and fireside chat will discuss the evolutionary path of the Connected Vehicle, its fits and starts, the incremental successes and the setbacks, but most importantly, the little-known backstories for how and why each of those events took place. History records the outcomes or “what” occurred, but the template for future progression is built upon knowing the “whys” and recognizing how to leverage these techniques to minimize the times between invention and production.
