    Remind me to avoid Hyundai like the plague. Every time one of these automation plans goes live, the quality of products falls off a cliff.

      It’s a Hyundai. The cliff was under water. They’re basically grade A KIAs.

        Kias have been good for years.

        They’re rated comparably to Honda, Mazda, Toyota.

        A little lower than Nissan or Lexus

        Way better than BMW, lincoln.

        Hyundai, of course, are similar

        They’re not amazing, but if you think they’re trash you’re stuck in the '90s. Or basing on feels not facts

        I had a Sonata that I drove into the ground over 15 years. Loved it. Only gave up on the car when I got rear-ended and my insurance decided to total the vehicle rather than pay for repairs.

      Every other carmaker will do the same if it works, because there is strong competition in the market for cars. For ethics around workers being replaced by technology, changing the law to protect workers is the only way.

        I personally dont think it will succeed in actually reducing the labor force that much. Its the eyeballs, brains and finger dexterity they wont match for quite some time. We can see a problem and respond with appropriate novel solutions. I mean just stuff falling over and all the other everyday things, we do that aren’t on thr official agenda. Theyll have 1 real guy following around the bucket of bolts fixing his mistakes.

          Robots are getting better bit by bit. Basically the percentage of the population that has a certain “skill ceiling” is slowly growing.
