vehicleany

Vehicleany is a term used in transportation technology to describe a concept of universal interoperability across vehicle platforms. It does not refer to a single product or standard, but rather a broad design aspiration toward devices and software that can be used interchangeably across vehicle types and use cases.

Core ideas include modular hardware, open software interfaces, and standardized data and control protocols. A vehicleany approach would rely on well-defined APIs, shared safety certification criteria, and an open data ecosystem to allow components and services to be integrated regardless of manufacturer.

Applications include autonomous fleets that can reconfigure to passenger or goods transport, adaptive shared-mobility services, and rapid-response platforms for emergencies or events. In practice, achieving vehicleany would require cooperation among manufacturers, regulators, and service providers, plus empirical validation of safety and reliability.

Critics point to risks around liability, cybersecurity, and fragmentation if standards are too permissive. Proponents argue that, with proper governance and robust risk management, vehicleany could increase resilience, reduce costs, and accelerate innovation in mobility.
