Rivian’s CEO praised the Xiaomi EV’s design after a teardown.

RJ Scaringe said he’d buy the SU7 himself if he lived in China.

He called it a well-integrated, nicely executed technology platform.

    Oh right, because that happened with your computer that’s already following you for the past 15 years. I’ve met hundreds of people losing health insurance from the secret apps installed on phones and computers.

    Y’all have to invent edge cases to make this stuff sound scary. Google has had the vast majority of everyone’s movement for the past 15 years. Every day, every meter.

    Sure there are downsides that people don’t like but the vast majority of users don’t care and aren’t highly impacted.

    The reality is folks want tech in their vehicles. They want it to integrate with their phones natively.

      You ever watch scifi stuff and its kinda far fetched? Its because they’re envisioning a future that hasn’t happened yet. Its not an ‘edge case’ you just haven’t been affected by it yet.

          I’m sorry I’m confused by what you’re hinting at with this reply, you’re going to have to explain further.

            To signal I’m mostly done with this conversation in any sort of productive way after hearing the absurd notion that I should reference sci-fi as some prediction or validation for at best, edge cases if not entirely made up scenarios while entirely ignoring recent backlashes and legal action over the past few years where manufacturers have been told that is explicitly not okay. Event the FTC got up off their asses and did something.

            Just imagine thinking a few allegories over the years which have come true isn’t an absurd survivors bias and completely ignores the mounds of trash and shit that’s great and still got it wrong is absurd.
