  1. So long as computers crash and software updates garble the program's performance, I don't think we need to be talking about autonomous driving just yet. Let's get the kinks and bugs out of our current software development and upgrading processes FIRST.

    Same with AI! I don't think AI should be developed whilst the world is split down the middle between the out of touch, eugenicist elites and the rest of us! The former have NO BUSINESS creating an autonomous computer mind replete with their hatred of humanity and fanatical "save the planet" hypocrisy. The Devil will literally be in the details.

  2. Citizens will not pay for subscription when the car is already overpriced…

  3. as Americans learn more about spying and privacy breaches from their OWNED car there will be push back and disablement of all of them….watch

  4. The big car makers are trying to keep up with Tesla and make way too much profit.

  5. Maybe they could offer an odometer rollback accessory and app for your smartphone ๐Ÿคฃ

  6. No one can save any industry in America without bringing America back to the ways that made it wealthy. Way too many people doing all the wrong things so it will get worse. The sleeping giant is having a wake and next is the funeral.

  7. I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year… Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.

  8. Iโ€™m not buying an EV ๐Ÿ–•Biden

  9. I'M AMISH; NO USE FOR THE AUTOMOBILE

  10. They would sell more if dealers didnโ€™t mark up these ridiculous amounts

  11. Just changed the transmission on my 1986 Chevrolet Silverado and installed a brand new infotainment system !! Live free !! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

  12. It is DISGUSTING that these 5 wannabes are doing the bidding for car manufacturers. They are softening up the buyers and clearly conditioning the minds of future buyers of EVโ€™s that they will not only pay dearly for the EVโ€™s but then get hit with monthly download fees for software upgrades and DATA SUPPLY.
    ELECTRIC VEHICLES are the biggest CONN IN HISTORY being perpetrated on the PUBLIC.
    WAKE UP EVERYONE

  13. Smart cars, another spy ,governments control on tracking us. They'll have power to shut down our vehicles.

  14. GM doesn't get it… Android auto SUCKS. Put it in your cars, and they SUCK too.

  15. Itโ€™s not that they need to make car more affordable, you need you make more. Think to your self, how can I make more money?

  16. At the end of the day they want these electric cars so they can track and control you just like electric money. Everyday we're giving up our freedoms one by one in the guise of convenience, smh.

  17. Nobody can become financially successful overnight. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component hindering us from taking bold steps we need in other to reach our goals. you have to contend with inflation, recession, decisions from the Feds and all. I was able to increase my portfolio by $290k in months. You have to seek for help in the right places.

  18. Well quit being as sissy and learn to drive a real man's car

  19. Here is a concept. ๐Ÿ™„

    Lower MSRP, dealer markups, bring back 0% APR and stop blaming semiconductors as your sole issue of low inventory.

  20. My 2002 Toyota will outlive me, I can work on it with a set of wrenches & screw drivers, and it has no computer chips!

  21. Dont buy new cars

  22. Big brother will be watching ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  23. I don't know who needs to hear this! Stop relying on the government and savings. Invest some of your money if you want financial stability, the pandemic has thought us the importance of having several streams of income.

  24. You will eventually pay a monthly fee for your windshield wipers to work. Heated seats will be installed. Just gonna cost you $100/month extra. May only be worth it 4 months out of the year. ๐Ÿ˜‚

  25. Why waste time discussing which coins to keep for the long term? Have you even heard of Papayahub?

  26. I work with PapayaHUB. In just 5 months, I made a profit of +150%.
