Sounds about as useful as Bonzi Buddy. Too bad I don't have the computing power to run AI.

Will it run without the AI?
Engine management, anti-lock brakes and perhaps autonomous anti-collision braking avoidance are nice, but these functions do not require AI. However, if you want the car to pick your restaurant and vacation destination, this might be your ticket. As of now I carry a phone to make me stupid and that is enough extra tech. It can navigate in times of desperation and has the benefit of being turn offable or even chucked out the window if I choose.

AI won't take our jobs and it might even save the middle class
Who gets to train the AI?
What AI can do for or to us depends on the data set and rules the AI is trained on. My suspicion is that I or you are not going to be the ones given the training task. Thus AI will be a tool which does not empower the average person but just becomes another tool to control us. AIs will be promoted based on their ability to push power to the employer or large corporation. Expect egalitarian AIs to be made illegal.

Doom turns 30, so its creators celebrate seminal first-person shooter’s contribution to IT careers
my parents were horrified by an early arcade game where you ran over pedestrians with a very slow car, at which point they became grave markers that would bog down your car. The pedestrians were safe on the pavement but kept entering the street to be run down. All very simple, monochrome and probably responsible for the state of driving to this day.

They need it all, in addition to your payments and maintenance costs of course. Have they promised not to make your life hell if you think of changing brands? Do they have to inform you that you can opt out of some of their data mining? Have they even promised not to DOX, or SWAT you if you object? Waiting for bicycle manufacturers to follow suit...

Boom and Bust Cycles
I remember being told as and elementary school student in the 60's not to become a teacher as there was a surplus. Here in Hawaii we had a Christmas Tree cycle. Shortage with high prices one year and glut the next followed again by shortage. We seem to get all caught up in the current state of affairs and plan without seeing the cyclical nature of supply and demand. When in danger, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout.
