yay! "ai" in my car!<p>1. require extra fingers to operate<p>2. takes you where you "need to go", not where you "want to go"<p>3. refuses to be corrected<p>4. confidently takes you to the wrong place, even when the need/want matrix above aligns<p>we don't need no stinkin' ai in cars<p>I understand the need for software/firmware which controls intricate operations of the vehicle, like VVT, etc, but the less software in my car, the better - the most important requirement of a vehicle is that it reliably gets you to where you need to go, and software introduces more points of failure (eg do a search on ford owners who are unable to start their Ranger pick-ups sometimes), where "ai" (llm slop-generators!) will simply make that worse. At some point, the only option will be to look for some pre-2000 car with a known good track record (eg Toyota Land Cruiser) to avoid all this baloney.<p>And I'm a software dev - so my opinion on software in vehicles is grounded in experience with software in myriad other domains.
