automaker

Remind me how being the world's largest automaker means anything in relation to ensuring rationality.

The automaker is, because they're the ones with the money.

This is likely because the coordination costs between n different automaker's autonomous systems will rise with the square of n.

We have seen demonstrations of the keyless cars from this automaker being started and driven without the actual rfid-key device.

Other corporations, including trade groups representing nearly every major automaker, made the same case to the Copyright Office again and again.

The fact that automaker and lawmakers were convinced to take action by less dangerous demonstrations shows that this stunt was not necessary.

No automaker would even try it because it would generate even more bad press.

If i dont have to force an automaker to produce one, why arent they?

They don't quote any automaker who says you don't own your car.

As the largest automaker in the world for most of the last century, they would get a significantly outsized benefit compared to any competitor.

If a self-driving car makes a mistake, is the automaker responsible?

The vast majority of ads for luxury cars, for example, aren't going to elicit an immediate purchase, but still provide value for the automaker down the line.

Saying "it wasn't built in-house" makes about as much sense as an automaker washing its hands of the airbags or other critical parts in the cars they build.
