I was looking closely at the diagram on this link about the autonomous car and I noticed it said Source: Behnam Behroozpour/The Optical Society/UC Berkeley

I started following POET's old patents from the beginning of this "VCSEL" brought me back to one of Dr. Taylors early invensions - at the bottom of the patent it says
"© (1993) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering."
http://proceedings.spiedigitallibrary.org/proceeding.aspx?articleid=936614
And I thought imagine if Dr. Taylor is a member...
On the UCONN Staff Directory it shows Dr. Taylor with these memberships.
Memberships:
- Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
- Optical Society of America (OSA)
- Lasers and Electro-Optics Society (LEOS)
- SPIE – The International Society for Optical Engineering

Makes you think if POET really could be involved with more then we know.
