Ram made so much money on the Last Gen truck they decided to keep making the damn thing so they could make even more money.

This, and all similar “make x from image of y” type “AI” are not AI at all. It is a system trained with a neural network. It is a system that follows a logical path from point A to point B based on the things it has seen in the past. You give a system thousands (or millions) of images and say “THIS IS A FACE”. The…

Especially when a 12 year old car is selling hotter now than when it was introduced.  Why on Earth would you disrupt that?  Why would you change an appreciating asset? 

People make this argument all of the time but somehow fail to realize that FCA doesn’t need to redesign vehicles that sell well 

Should be pretty internal rind-free though. 

“their American market cars”

“remove all internal rinds.” twice.

all this means is that artificial “intelligence” is still pretty goddamned stupid. Janelle Shane- an AI researcher who published the humorous AI-developed paint names and recipes- said the best AI we have is about as intelligent as a worm. You can get it to recognize patterns but it’s incapable of understanding what…

If a Jeep is around $48k then why are you surprised that it’s payment is so high? Aren’t E-trons around $80k out the door? Do you think dealerships own these things for free? Margins aren’t THAT great for most regular vehicles, with the exception being highly optioned big trucks/SUVS and luxury/high-end…

Last time I checked, DC uses tax dollars. Tax dollars that need to be spread across an area much larger than Germany.

Good point.

rinse and repeat

Making it more attractive sounds good. Doing it by raising taxes/fees, or making other transportation options worse, is exactly taking away other choices, or at least making them less attractive on purpose. I hope they use a carrot, and not the stick.

Not too liberals.  No economic sense at all. Build this the government can pay. Two years later it's not working shut it down and build this the government can pay for it. Two years later....

Right... to say Germany has long distance trains is laughable from an informed American's perspective... germany is 392 miles across at its widest from east to west.  

I see this data gathering as being potentially used for things like restricting right to repair. As in nope, independent repair shops won’t have access to sensor data that dealers would be able to. Then there are the privacy concerns. Mainly in that there is no good reason for them to be collecting data such as…

As nations around the world try to get their economies humming again, the number of coronavirus tests coming back positive has turned into the metric to watch.

Weird position. A TON of people choose to move here, literally millions every year, to the point where natives bitch about Californians invading. Low cost of living, no income tax, cheap land, lots of jobs.
