- | ====== Business Plan - Autonomous Vehicles ====== | ||
- | Best laid plans of mice and men are destine to go awry. So I try to maintain more of a guide as to hard details about a plan. | ||

- | ===== High Concept ===== | ||
- | To create TrueAI that equals or surpasses human level intelligence. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Idea ===== | ||
- | One must climb a ladder to reach great heights. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Features ===== | ||
- | |||
- | * continuous learning | ||
- | * less data to learn | ||
- | * faster execution | ||
- | * flexible for real world applications | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Target Hardware Platform ===== | ||
- | |||
- | A computer that can fit inside a vehicle without taking up much space. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Target Market ===== | ||
- | |||
- | autonomous vehicles market along with the transport and shipping industries. Customer' | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Autonomous vehicles ==== | ||
- | This is the potential revenue if I were to sell my autonomous vehicles platform to various vehicle manufactures. | ||
- | So minimum revenue would be around $629, | ||

- | ==== Transportation ==== | ||
- | |||
- | The trucking industry has around 15,500,000 trucks with equates to $40, | ||
- | |||
- | Other potential areas within this industry is trains, planes, and boats. | ||
- | ==== Shipping ==== | ||
- | May want to structure a Service Level Agreement instead of just a product purchase. | ||

- | ===== Target Market Segment Strategy ===== | ||
- | |||
- | Using youtube, created status videos to showcase the progress of the work. Also, hire a business developer to connect with potential customers. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Estimated Schedule and Budget ===== | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Timeline ==== | ||
- | This is a running accumulation of costs. | ||
- | * year 1 - build proof of concept - $100,000 | ||
- | * year 2 - build working prototype in simulation - $500,000 | ||
- | * year 3 - build real world working prototype - $3,000,000 | ||
- | * year 4/5 - hire a business developer and connect with potential vehicle manufacturers - $6,000,000 | ||
- | * year 6 - generating revenue from sales to vehicle manufactuerers, | ||
- | * year 7 - start targeting other markets | ||
- | |||
- | === Annual Operating Costs === | ||
- | |||
- | this is anywhere between $200,000 and $500,000 | ||
- | |||
- | == Other costs == | ||
- | |||
- | Considering building a workshop and test track to build and test the autonomous vehicles. | ||
- | ===== The Team ===== | ||
- | |||
- | * Jeff McCartney, CTO, Founder, Inventor, [[https:// | ||
- | * Hire a business developer | ||
- | * Hire a financial manager | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Competitive Analysis ===== | ||
- | |||
- | A lot of companies are trying to solve this problem. | ||
- | |||
- | But they have been at it for years, since 2007, and they are all using some variation on Neural Networks. | ||
- | |||
- | But this is the hard data on the progress that they are making - [[https:// | ||
- | ===== Risk Analysis ===== | ||
- | There is a huge risk. My algorithm has yet to be tested. | ||
- | |||
- | Another concern is that the competition may indeed succeed at creating a solution in the development time of this project. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Summary ===== | ||
- | TrueAI is my life's work and I will solve it at all costs. | ||
- | ===== Visualizations ===== | ||

- | |||
- | When a neural network fails in a simulation, it's not a big deal. but when it fails in real life, people die. | ||
