Anyone read down the end end of the article where Ford is like, nah bro, dont let this in the US? This is stiffling innovation more than humans wanting drinking water.
I’ve said this in other threads but the US is going to become a third world car nation. The rest of the world will have cheap EVs, and we’ll still have expensive ICE vehicles. Other companies that are allowed to sell here will use us as the R&D sink, while just sticking the same old engine in newer after newer vehicle, while coming out with cheaper options elsewhere.
Yup. The irony of that situation is not lost on me, but since the US is so car brained and reliant on cars, companies know they have a captive audience who needs to buy cars, so which better group to push your highest margin products to?
Jim Farley is a fucking clown. The head honcho of Ford doesn’t drive a Lincoln, and that alone is enough to never buy a ford. They wont drive it themselves.

More pollution and more cost. Ain’t the US great?
Seems so backwards given how car dependent the US is as a country … (yes, in NYC and some others you don’t need one but for the most part)

If they copyleft it, then people in the US will just make it domestically
