STANDARDS & COMMITTEES
The art and economics of
technical collaboration
Developing SAE J3311, Vehicle
Platform Power Management.
By GARY MARTZ,
Vehicle Platform Power
Management Committee
Chair.
When it comes to technical
innovations, we value our own
ideas, and we like to exploit the
best ones for the specific
economic advantage of our
companies. We also like to move
quickly, sing our own familiar
development processes, and not
be slowed down by unnecessary
bureaucracy. Sometimes we
strike gold.
Being the first mover with
novel and proprietary IP can
deliver tremendous economic
benefit. This type of approach
can be highly successful, but is
this the right thing to do all the
time? Can this approach
sometimes be harmful to our
companies by putting limits on
market growth? I would argue
that the benefits of a proprietary

approach can be limited, as these solutions can be
eventually overwhelmed by the critical mass of broad
industry collaboration.
Broad industry collaboration generally takes the
form of open-source software and open
specifications. These approaches still rely on good
and novel ideas, but they often take longer, involve
healthy debates, require tradeoffs, and are ultimately
just as much art as science. The beauty of this art is in
the eye of the beholder and is often in the form of
negotiation and diplomacy, but the economic benefit
of broad industry collaboration is settled science in
my opinion. Combining the best ideas from across the
industry pushes the boundaries of the technology
curve, more broadly enables
the ecosystem, and
creates a richly
competitive market
with more efficient
use of R&D
budgets. The
result is robust
interoperability
that avoids vendor
lock-in, fixing bugs a single time,
and delivery of solutions that are lower
cost, more secure, safe, and robust.
