Nissan Opens Silicon Valley Center for Self-Driving Car Research | The Robot Times | Scoop.it
Nissan Motor Co. opened a research center in California’s Silicon Valley that the Japanese carmaker plans to make its hub for research on self-driving vehicles and Internet-connected auto technology.
The Robot Launch Pad's insight:

Silicon Valley is the place to be for autonomous vehicle research. Although Germany and France do interesting applied research, and Michigan's large connected car trial is very relevant too.

The actual stats on Kickstarter for hardware (or any) projects aren't that great. 50% projects unfunded. Average fund amount $5000. However, those who have or create good market channels are doing very well.
