OK, watched the video.  I now get it.  I want one.  Do I need one?  No, but rather this than a Tesla creepazoid humanoid spy wandering around my house.

In TSMC’s principal chip manufacturing complex in Taiwan, new PhD(!) chip engineers work the night shift.  People do not understand the scale and complexity of these operations.

This is good news, agree with the perspective of the. AI article, clearly there was political motivation here and of lack knowledge about security and interoperability.

Now maybe something can be done with the decisions of the South Korean, Indian and Indonesian governments which appear to be nothing but shakedowns.

Apple for good and bad has a reputation for not playing well with other companies.  I am amazed that with the pressure that non-Chinese automakers are under from Chinese competition and accusations of under and over investment in EVs and plug in hybrids, that an Apple partnership hasn’t been announced.  It would put any beleaguered auto manufacturer back in the game and would give Apple a longterm toe hole in the automotive market.  Imagine how amazing a transparent infomatic windshield by Apple would be?  And with Apple’s VR prowess it should be doable.  It could mean a vehicle selling at a premium to the benefit of both companies.  And eventually the tech would make its way downstream.
