Week 9

Parts of the AutoCom project that can be translated to revenue streams:

• Onboard Module – To the automaker industry to add as a function to cars. (OEM)
• Module Installation service – We could market ourselves as an after-market car modifier that could install our system into any pre-existing vehicle to transform it. This would allow us to target the trucking industries or transport industries that have vehicles already onto which we can add our system.
• Communication system/software – We could sell our communication system and protocols between different devices to the autonomous vehicle industry to help make DSRC a standard in the industry. Currently there are no commercial devices that allow for systems to communicate using DSRC.
• GPS Time/NTP server – Sell the software to allow computer systems to sync their internal clocks with GPS time to ensure precise timing. Could be sold to the embedded systems industry that designs devices such as control systems that need accurate time.
• Vehicle control software – Sell the software that the team develop to control the vehicle based on the information received to the AutoCom device to the automaker industry.
