"Cariad: VW subsidiary largely discontinues its own software development Volkswagen keeps its controversial software arm Cariad now acting mainly as an integrator of partner code from companies like Rivian and Xpeng. Volkswagen is pulling the emergency brakes on its ambitious Cariad software division and has heralded a radical change of course. Instead of relying on the largely failed in-house development of programs and systems for cars VW is now relying on cooperation Group CEO Oliver Blume explained recently at the "Auto x Software Summit" of the Financial Times (FT) in Munich. Cariad will"

"I looked into the XPeng G9 and its baller for road trips. How is laggacy going to keep up with this Xpeng G9 Long Range owners rave about its charging hitting 250-320 kW peaks and 10-80% in XX min on XXX kW stations. Users report XXX km added in 8-12 min"

"my bro just checked out the XPeng G9 at a dealer. sleek well-built with a clean Tesla-like UI fully loaded. Dealer says demand is crazy. Compared it to a VW Tayron nearby: dull grey plastics cluttered jurassic UI and boring. The contrast is stark. uh oh. trouble"

"Its the most humbling thing Ive ever seen said Fords chief executive about his recent trip to China. After visiting a string of factories Jim Farley was left astonished by the technical innovations being packed into Chinese cars from self-driving software to facial recognition. Their cost and the quality of their vehicles is far superior to what I see in the West @jimfarley98 warned in July. We are in a global competition with China and its not just EVs. And if we lose this we do not have a future at Ford"

"The video by @b_sport320 details how Volkswagen effectively killed its iconic Transporter the Bulli through a series of questionable product decisions. A masterclass in how to retire an automotive icon. After milking the reliable decades-old platform for all it was worth VW introduced a confusing trio of expensive successors. First there was the T7 Multivan which transformed the utilitarian van into a high-priced minivan sacrificing precious cargo space for family-friendly features. Then came the charming but equally impractical and overpriced ID. Buzz electric van. The grand finale was VW's"

"Laggacy doing Laggacy things Rocket Marketer Warns of Bubble Arianespace CEO David Cavaillols views the number of new space industry startups critically warning against exaggerated hopes for a boom in the European space market. In an interview with Handelsblatt the Frenchman whose company markets launches of carrier rockets states: "Contrary to what many think the market is not exactly exploding right now" This assessment contrasts with statements from rocket manufacturers and consulting firms that expect strong demand growth in the coming years. Cavaillols does not question these forecasts"

"what an absolute sh*tshow this Audi Q3 UX is. Im baffled as to what happened to these guys. they used to be good at this. The windshield wiper only works via the left black dial. To signal you have to push the entire left block either down or up. And for gear selection you do the same on the right side with the block. What the heck. and of course everything nicely finished with a piano lacquer look. (found on reddit)"
