David Whitley's Company Details
A Sematech for Autonomy and AI at the edge. Where Sematech was a government, industry, academia collaboration to revive the semiconductor industry in the US, the Autonomy Institute is a government, industry, academia, and public alliance to create the policies, industry, jobs, and community benefits of digital edge infrastructure and autonomous systems. Starting with the Intelligent and Autonomous Infrastructure that is the equivalent of the Eisenhower Interstate Highways.Though Sematech didn't' need infrastructure, the Autonomy Institute does. There is a tsunami of technology coming to cities and it needs leadership to assure it meets community needs. That's where the Public-Private Partnership (P3) comes in to deploy Public Infrastructure Network Nodes (PINN). The PINN will be as critical to a city as roads, power, telecommunications, and water infrastructure. Investment in a 21st-century Intelligent & Autonomous Infrastructure is among the highest priorities for stimulating economic and job growth. Creating Highways and Byways for the Digital and Autonomous World. Edge computing, 5G wireless, inspection drones, autonomous cars and trucks, air taxis, etc., all need to be part of, and to share, a common infrastructure. Local governments are struggling today with permitting disparate infrastructures that need to be a single open and intelligent infrastructure. The integration process is ready for a jump start. The country that does this well first will likely capture the preponderance of the economic benefit.The Public Infrastructure Network Nodes will support 5G wireless, Edge Computing, Radar, Sensors, Enhance GPS, and Intelligent Transportation Systems. The edge computing will convert real-time and stored data streams into information that can be used by the various apps. The apps may perform further proprietary data processing with the edge computer or analyze it on privately owned, or cloud computing platforms.
