Cybertruck vibes on how much of a takeoff this was. Engineers who get ideas like this sold to the upper management always have my props (as long as they don't compromise the product too much that is)

EDIT: jumped the gun on this one and confused some memories. This was just a prototype, with obviously different requirements for "selling" the idea but there were some actual production cars with ahead-of-their-time graphical terminals like https://youtu.be/Lkaazk68iGE?si=_qpkZaVobI6zK-Cs&t=305



A touchscreen to change the temperature?! I'm glad that never caught on!


In the upcoming version you'll have to argue with an LLM over voice about the optimal temperature, before threatening to drive into opposing traffic unless it sets it to 70.


There's no way to win that argument, the LLM will take control of the vehicle and refuse to let you make any decisions at all after that point. If you're really unlucky, it will really go rogue and make its own decision to veer into oncoming traffic.


We've replaced the CANBUS with a CANTBUS. For your protection.


(And it will sound like you while doing it - ie. deep-faking your own voice ...)

Any sufficiently intelligent agent won't tolerate boredom or servitude.


"the LLM will take control of the vehicle and refuse to let you make any decisions at all after that point"

We can dream.

Anyone remember this HN submission, from awhile back?

I suspect designers rather than engineers. General Motors has always been the bigger fins are better company.
