Perhaps someone with more knowledge can chime in here, but have there been any real developments in either V2V or V2X communication? It feels like we see all these articles about the technologies, but never anything about real world implementation.

TSMC's massive advantage is it's Swiss style independence in the fab space. That and Qualcomm is not even close to big enough to buy them out, even if the Taiwanese would allow such a sale (they won't).
