Aftermarket navigation accessories are incredibly common on motorbikes, the most common ones are phone mounts, or a Garmin unit.

So, there is clearly a need for this.

It’s also an incredibly soft metal that is stupidly easy to make holes in.

Who the fuck upvoted this drivel?

I don’t think the marketing people for a billion dollar corporation would be that bold.

It would depend hugely on the bus, and the environment it’s working in, but $1 per mile sounds low, unless that doesn’t count labour.

Buses are actually quite expensive to operate, it’s cost effective because that cost is split between so many passengers.

No way in hell is this going to be ready in two years.

Although I do like the idea behind the vehicle.

I suspect something like the first one, where those cars will call home to a certain IP address, and the fact that the company might not exist one day never crossed anyone’s mind.

That would work out to roughly $10 per voicemail for me.

Getting a transcript of a voicemail sent to me would be an incredible feature actually.

The infotainment having an Internet connection I can see the point of, just not the vehicle proper.

The what now?

Is an AI summary of a text message really something you need? I’d have thought a typical text would be short enough to not require it.

We keep adding connected tech to products that have no business having that tech.

I don’t want a car that needs software updates. Or a goddamn Bluetooth soldering iron.

It’s actually pretty good, isn’t it?

I’d just abandon my shopping at that point and go somewhere else.

Having heard the man talk, it really does sound like cognitive decline, especially compared to older recordings of him.

That place is just 4chan for commies, isn’t it?

Andy they would be screaming if he then proceeded to attack someone else.

You’ve been spouting absolute nonsense with total sincerity, I’ll give you that.

I use the same app for here as I did on Reddit, Boost for Lemmy. It’s easy to forget I’m on a different platform sometimes.
