Nice to know even though Australia no longer manufactures mass-market cars, our home-grown technology for connected and autonomous vehicles is being exported. iMOVE talks to Paul Gray, CEO of an Adelaide-based company, Cohda Wireless, that’s partnering with the big guys in trials around the globe. And this is no bootstrapped start-up – Cohda’s been around since 2004, and has offices in China, the US and Europe. http://getstem.com.au/paul-gray-e2i-expert-to-infrastructure/
