The "we can do it by end of this year" he's been toting since 2016 wasn't a giveaway?

At least those are illegal (although perhaps not enforced well enough)

It's unfortunately not happy days and rainbows in "competition land" either though. It usually just leads to a race to the bottom in the pursuit of infinite profit growth, forcing them to lower quality in a never ending downwards spiral, leaving the customer with shit on all sides.

If you don't bloat the software it will run the same year 10 as in year 1. The reason electronics get slow, is because developers tend to get lazy when compute resources are abundant.

Apple being massive unethical assholes...what a surprise.

Yeah software in most cars is really underdeveloped and neglected, leaving it in a horrible state. Manufacturers have handled the transition to a digital interface extremely bad.

Physical buttons have wiring harness failure, mechanical failure, and software failure...pretty much exactly the same amount as the touchscreen solution.

What boggles my mind is that cheap, snappy, easy-to-use touchscreen interfaces have been a solved issue for well over a decade with the proliferation of smartphones...why the hell do car manufacturers suck so much at implementing it!? They're all slow bug-ridden shitshows.

Reverse engineering an API is not illegal

I mean, it doesn't 50 active notes so I guess they decided that creation of 50 notes is what's allowed regardless of how many active you have left.

...or it's a bug, but generally I tend not to give businesses the benefit of the doubt.

You can't even enable it if it can't detect lines on the road
