The U.S. has used tariffs and security rules to keep Chinese cars off dealer lots. Alphabet’s robotaxi company appears to be buying them by the boatload.

    Unpopular opinion: Google’s approach actually makes sense here. The value isn’t the rolling metal box, it’s the autonomous driving stack. If Zeekr can build a high quality EV platform more cheaply, why reinvent it? Buy the best chassis, replace the electronics you don’t trust, and focus engineering effort where your competitive advantage actually is.

      Keep calling Chinese tech that as if

      1. US technology isn’t also spying on everyone
      2. All you know of China isnt red scare propaganda you’re stupid enough to fall for
      3. It isn’t 100x better than all shitty overpriced American tech

      Enjoy shilling for your overlords while the rest of the world wins :)

        Uh thats what I said…

        All you know of China is red scare propaganda you’re stupid enough to fall for

        Nope seen enough videos of people not able to get out of their BYD and burning to death to know I don’t want them.

        I don’t shill for the ccp like you.

            Let me indulge in watching china/ccp fall. Biggest employer is food delivery and they make shit construction. Belt and roads is being rebuffed by anyone that can’t be bribed or black mailed into a bad deal. Oh and tell me about that dam that just failed, or is it a couple of them?

            How many factories have been torched this week by disgruntled workers? 3 gorges dam is also nearing failure, let me guess only 29 lives will be lost. Those that know 30 deaths kick off the ccp. Mass flooding and you want to try to shit on America, lol.

            Also Taiwan #1
