Converging Technology creates the real opportunities.
Lighting made a difference with distribution networks. Petrol cars only made it with a large network of suppliers and stations; electric cars need to solve the same problem.
Similarly, autonomous cars can emerge by combining artificial intelligence, sensors, and distributed connectivity while ensuring security, privacy, and other requirements.
The combination of technology within a globalized economy is the driving force of acceleration. In that context, only actors with fast adaptation can compete.
This article shares the six impacts of converging technology on Quality Engineering, starting with a summary of the innovation landscape.
