  • I voted Other. In the late 1980s, I worked as a University Research Fellow on a project modeling a network of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) within a General Motors car factory. This research utilized Petri nets for system analysis and was implemented in LISP on a VAX computer running the VMS operating system. Concurrently, I was also developing control algorithms incorporating artificial vision for PUMA robots employed in assembly tasks within the same factory. Then, in my first job as an employee, I worked providing support to EDS, then a GM subsidiary in IT, on terminal connectivity and IBM networks. I haven't had any involvement with the automotive industry for decades.
