The issue focused on El Colectivo's software technology, which allows cars to respond to electronic devices by sending sensors from cameras and lasers into the vehicle's computers.

As engineers became better at computer vision, carmakers began putting digital systems in cars that could sense cars with automated technologies like cameras and lasers. But technology companies also wanted to develop algorithms that would allow cars to drive themselves. The resulting cars were often machines that needed technicians to install software that enabled them to perform specific tasks.
