A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Meanwhile legacy US automakers are busy trying to bury their heads in the sand again. I'm sure that will end well for the US economy and consumers.

It’s a textbook example of protectionism ending up with industry leaders slowly going bankrupt. It didn’t start with EVs, but it might end with them.

They're essentially forcing the US car market to become Cuba. The entire American car fleet in 2030 will probably be composed of decaying 2010's cars still. It's a stupid self-embargo, and will only delay their bankruptcy.
