Imagine it's the year 1900. The transition from horse to horsepower ushered in a complete infrastructural change that rippled through every imaginable sector of society and made our modern world possible. Today, we are on the cusp of another transformation of even greater magnitude. In several other countries, it seems to be happening overnight. In some ways, the United States is woefully behind.

Embracing Future Mindsets. When it comes to infrastructure in the AI age, the last thing you want is a horse-and-buggy mindset. There is a crucial need for modernization of America’s infrastructure to meet the challenges of the 21st century. We can’t cling to outdated practices and systems. It’s time now to acknowledge the necessity for infrastructure Moonshots to upgrade our competitiveness and resilience in a rapidly changing world.

“The great economic revolutions in history are infrastructure revolutions,” Jeremy Rifkin

Past generations of Americans recognized that the path to prosperity and security was paved with foresight and the indomitable American will. Their visionary investments were the bedrock upon which the United States built the world's largest GDP — a testament to a long-term vision that has stood the test of time.

Yet, as we stand on the shoulders of past generations and leaders, gazing into the future, the Economic Forum now ranks the U.S. 13th in infrastructure, trailing behind large and small nations. The nation’s civil engineers now warn that under-investment in infrastructure threatens America's global competitiveness, national security, military logistics and emergency response capabilities.

Brendan Bechtel and Jamie Dimon mention getting to the moon in 8 years. An even better example is how our grandparents built a nuclear reactor on top of a mountain to support a radar in 1960, in 18 MONTHS.?

The last decade has brought us the?Largest?Productivity Drop, the Largest Inflation Increase, the Largest Increase in Traffic Deaths, and the Largest digital divide.

Time to Build a Stronger and More Connected Nation!?

BLUEPRINT FOR OUR GREATEST TOMORROW

For the last five years, the Autonomy Institute has worked to bring the nation's thought leaders, collaborators, and builders together to build the intelligent infrastructure community.

The national buildout of INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE depends on an ecosystem of technology developers, data center providers, network providers, operating partners, real estate developers, engineering firms, construction companies, infrastructure investors, consulting firms, accountants, property and title companies, legal firms, energy producers, economic development groups, and university labs. What has developed is an impressive coalition of hundreds of exceptional industry luminaries, engineers, scientists, operators, and entrepreneurs.

Everyone is focused on Building a Stronger and More Connected Nation. Hundreds of national leaders are engaged:?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lHYnMeBR2Q

The Autonomy Institute is collaborating with 90,000 FEET , an Emmy award-winning, content studio/creative production agency. The leadership of Chris Nolan?and?Mike Schindler?are working on?documentaries, films, shorts, screenplays, etc., to advance INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE in the hearts and minds of Americans.?National sovereignty and global productivity will go to the nation that deploys the Intelligent Infrastructure enabling resilient communities, AI, spatial computing, autonomous systems, and Industry 4.0.

The production experience of 90,000 FEET will be creating the content for film, television, and digital platforms, as well as immersive experiences and events across all platforms of media.

WHY THE MOVIE AND FILM INDUSTRY?

With past transformational programs in the United States, the movie industry helped communicate the future. The history of electrification, interstate highways, the space race, and many other national programs leveraged the media industry to help move society forward. Eisenhower, JFK, and others used storytelling and movies to help educate the nation. To change the future, you must show a positive and productive vision. Our nation is in critical need of a National Revival.

Federal Infrastructure Bank : The Solution to America’s Infrastructure Crisis. The Federal Infrastructure Bank plan to establish a trillion-dollar wholesale bank to invest in U.S. infrastructure. Modelled after the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), which has been highly successful for 88 years and has over 1 trillion dollars in total assets, the Federal Infrastructure Bank can do for infrastructure what the FHLB has done for housing. Infrastructure is the foundation of all economic activity. As it crumbles, our economy will crumble. Our infrastructure crisis should be considered a national security priority, especially as our major competitor China forges ahead with its Belt and Road Initiative, an infrastructure network that will enable the Chinese government to control world trade and global economic development, while the U.S. remains fiscally handicapped. We urgently need to address this problem, but existing American fiscal policy is not working.

TIMELINE FOR PROJECTS, PROGRAMS, EVENTS

INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE = BRAINS OF OUR ECONOMY

Norm Anderson, the Legendary Infrastructure Leader, said it best: “Intelligent Infrastructure depends on leadership, It will be the brains of our economy.”

INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE touches the day-to-day life of each of our fellow citizens, and its deployment is crucial to our country's overall competitiveness and prosperity. Intelligent Infrastructure goes beyond transportation and will be the brains of our economy. Providing advanced city services, resilient and carbon-free economies, closing the technology divide, enabling autonomous systems, and most importantly; securing data for people, cities, and governments. The Economic Impact of Intelligent Infrastructure will be measured in the $billions in?economic expansion, saving lives, and creating millions of new jobs.

Industry 4.0 is driving a resurgence of manufacturing, infrastructure, and construction. As the United States moves to reestablish manufacturing leadership, our productivity depends on our ability to deploy Intelligent Infrastructure and automated/autonomous systems outside the factory. The deployment of Intelligent Infrastructure and the Federal Infrastructure Bank can significantly contribute to a national revival of innovation, resilience, economic growth, and job creation.?

Building a Stronger and More Connected Nation - FOR ALL

The economic impact of Interstate Highways has provided $trillions of economic value since they were established. the United States also experienced scars across many communities during the buildout based on the "1955 Highway Maps".

INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE will create Unified Communities and Drive the 21st-century JOBS & ECONOMY for the entire Nation.

Regional markets confront enormous risks as well as substantial opportunities from the rapid, complex digital transformation of their economies occurring now. The immense spread of intelligent and autonomous technologies drives this transformation. These technologies push computation power to the “edge” into the hands of individuals. They enable new approaches to every socio-technical system from education and healthcare to transportation and manufacturing. Socio-technical systems align the technical characteristics of an emerging technology — distributed computing, for example — with the social components of values, norms, and policies. Together, these two dimensions produce social and economic outcomes. These technical and social systems are intertwined, so they must be considered together. They give rise to an important question. How do we create an open, collaborative process so that technical and social dimensions can co-evolve and move us toward an economy that is more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable? The challenges of designing new socio-technical systems for the deployment of distributed computing within communities must overcome a range of challenges: organizational fragmentation, data access, data security, and divergent perspectives on wicked problems.

Intelligent Infrastructure builds stronger and more connected communities.

Regional economies in the U.S. consist of both a market economy and a civic economy. The market economy consists of activities and investments that are publicly valuable and privately profitable. Our civic economy is different. Here, we focus more on the “common good”: activities and investments that are publicly valuable but not privately profitable to a single company or industry. Both the civic and market economies represent open networks embedded in other open networks – a context with huge potential for diverse collaborations. The civic economy – a set of organizations, policies, institutions, and collaborations – if inclusive, both supports and is supported by the market economy.

Intelligent Infrastructure Economic Zones

Our nation is going back to Building infrastructure at scale. National sovereignty and global productivity will go to the nation that deploys the Intelligent Infrastructure enabling Industry 4.0. Unleashing the largest productivity boom in world history.

Intelligent Infrastructure = National Revival

As the United States moves to reestablish manufacturing leadership our productivity is dependent on our ability to deploy Intelligent Infrastructure?and automated/autonomous systems outside the factory. Industry 4.0 is driving a resurgence of manufacturing, infrastructure, and construction.

Industry 4.0 requires the bridging of the physical and the digital. Investment in a 21st-century Intelligent Infrastructure is among the highest priorities for stimulating economic expansion, national security, and job growth.?Intelligent Infrastructure will drive the largest buildout in our nation’s history. It will drive a massive resurgence of manufacturing, engineering, construction, installation, development, and jobs of the future.

$100 Trillion Industry 4.0

”Much like what we are finding in the military, we need a commercial variant of a smart infrastructure that is highly secure but upgradeable.?And it needs to be modular in fashion so that a new module doesn’t require testing from stem to stern all over again.” Bruce Jette, Former Assistant SECDEF of Army Acquisitions, Logistics, and Technology

Continuum of Innovation Capital

The?Continuum of Innovation Capital?aligns Innovation funds with Infrastructure Investment that has been developed over the last 4-years with infrastructure investors, private equity, and federal agencies.?This is to?leverage non-dilutive capital, economic development zones, and new policy/tax codes on capital gains.

In 1960, investors did not know what Venture Capital was; today, few know about the Continuum of Capital. Simply put, it is the merging of Infrastructure Investors with Innovation Investors. This is critical to compete with China's Military-Civil-Fusion and Belt and Road Initiative.?The Continuum of Capital covers the R&D and venture aspects of our national innovation OODA loop.

NATIONAL AUTONOMY PRIME

The Autonomy Institute has established the North Star for a Path to Autonomy. National sovereignty and global productivity will go to the nations that deploy the Intelligent Infrastructure enabling Industry 4.0. After 5 years of collaborating with dozens of federal agencies and over300 industry partners, we will see dozens of projects under development to help drive forward a clear Path to Commerce.

Autonomy will drive the largest productivity gain in history for the nation that leads.?Autonomous robotics brings the power of automation from the factory directly to our communities and cities. It will bring back manufacturing to the United States and will?empower individuals: independent manufacturers, farmers, contractors, drivers, engineers, and many more.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to Autonomy.

Autonomy Institute

The Autonomy Institute(501c3)?is a government, industry, academia, and public alliance focused on accelerating the "Path to Commerce" for Intelligent Infrastructure and autonomous systems. Over 250 organizations are engaged and supporting the policies, markets, jobs, and community benefits of autonomy to foster social and economic transformation.

Intelligent and Autonomous Infrastructure is the equivalent of the Eisenhower Interstate Highways. The Autonomy Institute collaborates with large infrastructure investors on the creation of $100+ million Public-Private Partnership programs. The intelligent infrastructure enables?the rapid and expansive deployment of rural broadband, NextG, edge computing, intelligent transportation systems, APNT, and smart grid devices. This infrastructure has substantial benefits to cities by?eliminating the digital divide and preparing communities?for Industry 4.0 solutions. The national deployment of this infrastructure will create millions of new jobs and generate billions in economic growth.

The Autonomy Institute has developed an "Autonomy Commerce Act" and an "All-Up" Autonomy program within the United States.
