Blah, blah, blah … new startup faces uphill battle in ramping production. But then:
“As vehicles evolve into software-defined supercomputers on wheels, a new opportunity emerges—to reimagine mobility with intelligence at every turn. Together with Lucid, we’re accelerating the future of autonomous, AI-powered transportation, built on [the] Nvidia full-stack automotive platform,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia.
It’s amazing to me that some people can unironically parse that as human language.
Great, yet another case of: we want to build cars but “nobody” (a.k.a. everybody except piece of shit investors) wants reliable and inexpensive cars that aren’t spying on you.
So we need to unlock money from venture capital / rabid ai hype / insert sketchy bubble here, to build expensive luxury cars with fake self driving while selling all your data completely outside of your control.
I pre-ordered a Slate. This is the only new vehicle you can buy that’s not bloated to high hell. The price is still not great but honestly this is one of those situations where I’m prepared to pay more for less.
I thought they got bankrupt years ago.
