Just one example - SEPTA is in the process of buying 40-Foot Low-Floor Diesel Electric Hybrid Buses now. These new vehicles will need cameras & video recording systems. Some upgraded vehicles will need them too. GSI is looking to get more into the AI side of managing all of the data as well. There are excellent margins in that side of the business.

Steady77, great information, it sounds good, but we need to see a contract of some sort announced in order to really move the needle. Quarterly numbers due out by month's end, the jury is still out on what to expect on the financial side. Now would be a great time for DD to throw out a nice surprise.
