@emptywheel I'd be perfectly happy just to see a state like California step up on this, though it sounds unlikely -
@konklone A state whose shiniest company wants to roll out the iCar soon is going to force open source? -
@emptywheel certainly does sound unlikely -- this seems like an issue worth pressing further -
@konklone@emptywheel what's the closest analog, where demanding open source turned out to be useful for public safety -
@JohnWonderlich@konklone@emptywheel plus you'd essentially be collectivizing an industry's assets the instant it's born -
@tjl I'd be curious to see real analysis of how much differentiation there is.@JohnWonderlich@konklone -
@emptywheel@JohnWonderlich@konklone in terms of software? I think it's fair to say the implementations will diverge significantly. -
@tjl Yeah, but I also think there are some providers that provide most of the industry.@JohnWonderlich@konklone - 3 more replies
