Weekly Meeting WebexAugust 25th Weekly - ICS file

...

• We walked through the charter with no real objections to it.  There were again questions about business models and database ownership, but no real disagreement.  This does not mean that it is done though.  We still need to find Chairs and drill down on timeline/roadmap.
• Ideally we would have at least 2 oems, but it may be that the project needs to get off the ground a bit to attract others.
• Ford presented some other related cases around determining vehicle energy demand.  There is also another collaborative project in the EU doing related work that we may wish to align with.
• We need to clearly state the value to OEMs and industry to get people onboard
• Need to have intro and learning sessions to get everyone up to speed on VSS
• Battery management and power management were mentioned as potential areas this project might facilitate.
• It may be that agreeing on standard VSS catalog may be difficult, but VSS methodology is still useful
• Reasonably remove barriers for this group to make progress, but it is understand for this to make it to production vehicles we need to include those things that make software production grade.
• There are potential opportunities with Michigan Economic Development Commission
