But I can't verify how accurate those data are. I just really liked the presentation
Funny, I actually dislike this presentation over something more basic, like a regular old pie chart. Impossible to get a sense of the proportional difference between these countries, and using tired cultural stereotypes.
Gonna have to disagree, pie charts get completely unreadable if you have a ton of smaller, roughly equal segments. Best for readability would be a bar chart.
Stereotypes ? What do you mean ? Every French dresses like that
Personally I feel like this graphic doesn’t really show the data as the beatiful thing. It’s just text with AI generated stereotyped characters for each country.
It is a pretty clean looking image though, anyone know what model was used? (Or know which models are good at making clean vector-like graphics like this?)
With a clear bias too since only USA is shown in modern clothes while every other country has traditional clothing.
Denim overalls are an American working class stereotype, peaking in popularity during the late 1800s. Most do not look like that
Yeah that’s pretty on par for US stereotypes.
Guy wearing Bavarian Lederhosen building a Benz.
way to piss off both BMW and Benz fans.
Numbers seem to fit this Wikipedia list.
I believe it's AI slop. I checked until 2012 and unless I missed something, there isn't a single year where the list goes "France, Turkey, Canada, Indonesia." In proper AI fashion, it looks correct at first glance but the further you go the worse it tends to get. The information could be from another source, but the hammer in china tells me otherwise.
...and Italy doesn't make cars? Slop.
The little US person should be dressed in a fast food employee outfit or Revolutionary War era clothes, to fit with everyone else.
From the facebook thread:
I searched for 'Stereotypical US Male' and got a guy wearing a Cowboy Hat, black tank top, jeans, and a sleeveless plaid vest. He also has a killer beard, rocking some sunglasses, and is holding a cheeseburger that looks delicious. And, yes, I do have all the items to recreate this look in my closet, but my cheeseburger is not going to compare.
Looks like it sourced the pic from here: https://nypost.com/2025/05/05/tech/heres-what-ai-thinks-american-men-look-like-its-embarrassing/ Damn if Nigeria isn't absolutely rocking that suit.
Looks like a Duck Dynasty ripoff.
Data is beautiful, when it's accurate and has sources.
The American guy should be fatter
Actual source:
Bottom right it says OICA, which is the 'International Organization for Motor Vehicle Manufacturers' and the numbers correspond to total motor vehicle productions (not just passenger cars, at least for most regions) for 2024:

We need to get these numbers down to about...
5.
5 cars per year.
For show.
Why is the image yellow
AI piss
It doesn't look statistically generated. The curves are too perfect.
It's the Mexico filter seeping out.
How is this calculated? The Canada/U.S. car industry is very intertwined. Many parts travel back and forth. Who gets credit for producing the car?
so what's the car to people ratio?
(does some rough math)
china: 1 car made for every 46 people
usa: 1 for every 32
i'm too lazy to do the rest
I'm in Taiwan and bought a locally built car. It's about 1/2 the price for double the features.
Unfortunately, everyone also buys the same car and it only comes in 3 colors. So I sometimes can't find my car without taking out the keys.
