How about just making cars that are affordable, reliable, and simple enough that everyone can repair them with a socket set and wrenches. Enough with the unnecessary tech bullshit.

How about instead of investing so hard to the bells and whistles you actually invest in better cars? I understand innovation to a certain extent but at this point it's like getting the new iphone. More expensive with slight improvements to things 80% of the population doesn't use or care about. Until self driving is a 100% proven and complete technology, I'll stick to my 2007 Honda. It's literally the only feature I care about because it actually feels like progress instead of just another point of failure.
six-in vehicle cameras and interactive features.
Ya know, with the reports about how virtually every connected car is spying on you, I don't see how this could make this any worse. /s
It's what's needed for the anti-drunk-driving ai system that was shuttled into law on the BBB package a few years back.
Required on all 2026 cars onward iirc
While its not a discrete GPU, AMD has had the Ryzen v2000 which has a 4k 3D embedded GPU in it for automotive applications for over 6 years now. There's literally millions of cars with this silicon on the road right now.
That may be the chip Tesla uses. I can’t remember what they switched too. I don’t care about playing games in my car but it made the console really responsive when they upgraded the chip
Something no one is asking for, what a joke.
Intel. The company whose stock price plummeted to its lowest price in a decade because no one believes in them now? Intel, who is laying off *15,000 employees because of poor management. Intel, who has been selling known defective CPUs and the working ones still have the industry's highest failure-rate.
If anyone tried to install an Intel GPU in my personal, company, or a vehicle I wanted to buy, I would physically rip it out....
Edit: Corrected number
It’s 15k. Not 150k
You're right. Miscounted those zeros.
Otherwise intel would he laying off almost their whole workforce. Intel has had bad leadership for a long time. Its use to be a great company. Somewhere they lose their focus and just went to garbage.
Not sure who downvoted your comment, lol. Yeah, that number seemed high, but I went with it.
It's a shame they are seemingly going the Boeing route and focusing solely on profits at the expense of innovation...
Oh hell they are not even focusing on profits. That’s how mad they are being mismanaged. At least that would be an explanation but it all comes down to bad management.
I worked for them for awhile and they were starting to struggle. CEO was booted for sleeping with an employee.
Part of the issue is they had dominance for so long they just stopped trying to innovate.
Car crashes incoming.
No, I don't want this. I won't pay for this. I don't know anybody asking for this. Just keep providing power sockets for the back seats, and things will be fine.
No automotive partners were revealed, but vehicles with the new chips will go on sale as soon as 2025.
The heat will kill these instantly.
