look to car makers for a example.Very good point - very well made Synchronicity.

Canbus and OBDII connections.
Industry says, we need a standard across the entire world for sensor communication as modern cars are going to need more sensors with faster interaction but can't do it with lots of separate wires anymore, there is to many of them. canbus systems are invented. within a year every manufacturer has a different way of implementing, covers different bits of the car (seriously, headlights, why?) and there is about 40 different "Standards"
OBDII, cars are more complicated, systems are now IC driven rather than big clunking relays (canbus) we need a way that any mechanic can diagnose a fault. ok industry, from now on all you cars are going to have an OBDII port, which is a specific size to let a computer be plugged in.
yer we have the same port, but the data that streams to it is now in one of about 20 protocols, but we will let you see something things in general term fault codes. oh you want to know what the fault codes mean...........
sorry folks, standards are bullshit, the only way to fix it is to have another standard.....
