Summary
Various media, ranging from action movies to the most erudite automotive engineering journals, depict vehicles capable of autonomous driving and little, if any, human interaction. As usual, the truth of the autonomous vehicle lies somewhere in the middle. This middle ground is known today as "Vehicle Infrastructure Integration, " or simply "VIII." Since one of the major components of VII is the roadway itself, it follows that those entities entrusted with its efficiency and upkeep are involved in VII research. Federal, state, and local governments are allocating resources for the testing and validation of a nationwide VII system. OEMs and suppliers have also contributed to the VII vision. If not underway already, OEMs should begin designing their cars to incorporate VII system requirements that will be necessary when such network is fully implemented. The implications of a fully developed VII network yield endless possibilities. The roadways become safer, more efficient places.
