The 5 billion that they spent to build os

Germany and Japan are literally cooked -I’ve never seen organizations fail so bad at adapting to a new reality

BMW, VW by way of Rivian, Ford, GM, and whoever licenses tech from Lucid are the only legacies who are gonna survive all the change in auto industry.

Toyota/Honda are going to be ok but hella kneecapped financially in 5 years

I mean all they need is physical knobs buttons and climate control. Just make a double din slot for us to install our own atoto ??? Profit I don't think we will be getting any fsd from Honda Toyota anyways unless they beg Tesla and get their os and cameras

It's more... auto market is driven by...
1) Suburban and city-adjacent high income US markets
2) Mid 40s folk in Northern European Cities

For these buyers, they gonna need to combine automated driving/parking, powertrain profile (PHEV/EV), mapping, mobile app, and infrastructure info (parking/charging/tolls) together.
BMW, GM, Lucid, Rivian, Ford, and GM headed in the right direction.
Everyone else got their head where the sun don't shine

Toyota/Honda/MB still acting like all this shit is separate but...
Changing the people, their incentives, cost structure and attitude on QA/privacy/security is the actually hard part.

Of the legacies, BMW i7 has been the best exp so far.
Lyriq comes really close for a lot lower price for integrating all this shit tgt
