Seems automakers have decided that one of the only differentiators in the coming world of electric appliance pod cars is going to be the software experience. Powertrain and performance are likely to be pretty much identical for every low to midrange car.
So GM has decided it's going to have be a software company that's going toe to toe with Apple, Tesla on UI/UX. All I can say is... best of luck guys!
That's exactly what management at Ford and GM think ...
They clearly have the skills to make world-class cars, but management doesn't think that will make money. Instead they think they're going to make their money on subscription services or who knows what else ...
I've been wondering whether there is going to be a commoditization of EV drivetrains. And, if so, whether that will usher in a new era of coachbuilding.
The Low Volume Manufacturers Act of 2015 might have made that easier.
