I don't think a $15k vehicle is viable...you can't get a decent ICE vehicle for under $25k.?

Almost All my vehicles have been under $25k, they are all decent. The $16k Elantra is really nice.

Are you thinking of 1980 China or the China walking on the moon today and about to beat us to Mars?

On the road to taking over the World's Manufacturing, they came a long way technically. (Won't comment further, in this thread.....)

But, along the way, they didn't seem to collect some of our significant overhead relating to manufacturing. They still have next to nothing for regulations in many sectors, and I'm not sure if "lawyer" even translates to their language.

Today, while they are capable of manufacturing at pretty much any level of sophistication you can name, they can choose to put a light/low cost vehicle on the road that we can't here.

They have this game beat, in more ways than much of the general public understands....

Ass/U/Me. Consider hanging out with Elon Musk more.

Do you really want to be in a self-driving robo taxi when some stranger gets in and gets access to the controls?

Brave New World is arriving!

Heck they probably don't even have to get into the car. Someday a Russian hacker will probably attach to your phone which attaches to your car and take it over. They demand you transfer cyber currency as ransom or they will crash you. Oh, and they will crash you anyway and erase all traces of the transaction. You can't fight it because you are dead.

No one should laugh. Coming soon to a theatre near you.

Maybe poverty will save me.

Well said. I could add to that but I should probably stay off if the political path.

Roger That.

I was also attempting to stay focused on the Product and Production aspects, for the same reason.

I'm fairly certain I'd fall asleep with a self driving system.

That's better than falling asleep without a self driving system.

Now we are attaching machinery to our body parts ?

Resistance is Futile !

Rgds, D.

Hah no it uses a front facing camera in the dashboard. Apparently it can tell when you close your eyes for a few seconds, or when resistance is taken off the steering wheel.

Robo taxis trend will be a driving force for FSD and a decrease in vehicle ownership. Affordable car ownership is not a reality for everyone going forward. Getting humans out from behind the steering wheel is going to save lives and dollars.

For sure. computers never fail.
