Fire any designer who tells you AI could improve the product.

That would be pretty dumb. It's entirely possible to use AI in the design and engineering phase without AI being in the product that's delivered to the customer. It's also entirely possible for AI to be used in areas like crash mitigation, improving the handling in poor road conditions, or optimizing charging speed to improve battery life. Those uses of AI are largely invisible but offer a tangible improvement to the vehicle without being what anyone would consider luxurious. Choosing to ignore a design option because it sounds like something trendy is a great way to design a product that's a worse value for the money.

AI in the vehicle, he means. Obviously ML models are useful for crash data, don't be a pedant.

Sir, this is the internet.

I mean, I interpreted it the way they seem to have as well. Not being a pedant, I literally just read it different.

OP could have been more clear, but it's not unusual for people to take the worst possible interpretation in order to debate something no one was arguing.

What this entire thread is about is just giving us a 2005-2010 era car that's electric. An audio deck with B/T only. No wifi, no Internet connectivity to the manufacturer, all the Laas nonsense with the updates and shit.

Just a vehicle that happens to be electric, not a computer on wheels.

Ai is unnecessary in all those topics. Classical sensing, detection/ response algos are all sufficient.

An LLM or Siri is useless, which is what I'm saying to discard
