<p>warning: total manufacturing newbie here<p>But i would like to ask.<p>How much effort/legal/heartache is involved in building an after market add-on for commercial vehicles?<p>Some comforting assumptions
- internal customers. no sales.   
- good software talent. can work around anything.  
- almost no moving parts - mostly electronics     
- can accept cost overrun on the components - each unit is >$10K  
- gradual scaling to 1000s units/annum   
- daily return to hubs if needed</p>
