The United States will lead the development and commercial deployment of autonomous systems. The enablement of Edge Computing, NextG and Intelligent Transportation Systems will create multiple transformational industries. Autonomy will drive productivity gains at an unprecedented scale and is a strategic imperative for national security and economic sovereignty.
There was a moment of time that for rail, for electricity, for communications, for aviation, for interstate highways, for the internet, for the cloud, . . . . . . . and now for the Intelligent Edge Infrastructure that will be the foundation for Industry 4.0. Electrified mobility, resilient electricity, additive manufacturing, autonomous systems, aerospace taking us to mars, intelligent and autonomous corridors, and unlimited bandwidth to anyone that wants to consume it.
Intelligent Infrastructure will drive the largest infrastructure buildout in our nation’s history. Intelligent Infrastructure will be deployed across cities, highways, campuses, commercial developments, shipping ports, airports, and even private communities. Here are some of the current projects and programs under development now.
