"Once an attractive source of revenue, the sale of consumer data has become thornier as automakers face lawsuits, customer pushback and other hurdles" says Automotive News, but add "The automotive industry is still sorting out the details as it seeks to profit from the data generated and gathered through the car." This is not a "sorting out the details" problem: #consumers no longer #trust #automotive companies with their #personalinformation. Companies insist showing down the throat of customers data practices that range from poor to horrible, according to Mozilla. Here's a novel idea: how about giving #customers what they want, i.e. #privacy in their #car? At Privacy4Cars this is our mission and raison d'etre. Join the hundreds of companies who decided that doing the right thing was the right business thing too. https://lnkd.in/gTw2uBjt

I find it interesting how automotive OEMs are increasingly integrating entertainment media technologies into their cars. This especially makes sense for digital native EVs where a network connection is a given. While I'm sure that OEMs will build in ways to limit the driver from watching visual media, until we have full level 5 self driving I'm concerned that drivers will find ways to circumvent these restrictions (people are endlessly inventive) and endanger themselves and other drivers. I'm not sure there will be car oriented versions of media like we have for mobile though. What do you think? #digitalmedia #evs #connectedcar https://lnkd.in/gDH3C23S

With a nearly triple-digit days' supply, Nissan Motor Corporation is letting its retailers advertise vehicle prices below invoice — the first time the automaker has done so widely since before the pandemic. From May 1, dealers can market nearly the entire 2024 model year lineup at up to 10 percent below invoice, Nissan said last week in a memo obtained by Automotive News. The aging Armada may be advertised up to 15 percent below invoice. Nissan is betting lower prices will stoke flagging consumer interest and persuade shoppers to come into its stores. Retailers like the plan. They just don't want to be the ones paying for it. "Nissan is saying, 'We can't afford to be in the market, so you need to be. The responsibility has been moved from the factory to us." Other retailers welcome the relaxed advertising rules. "We want more flexibility to make better deals and get more traffic into the stores.” Cox Automotive Inc.

Biggest Flop in Auto industry history: Maybe? Mercedes EQS: How poor design choices have led one of the world's most decorated automaker to ditch its plan of selling only electric vehicles by 2030. Bad?proportions and clunky detailing have given it the name of the "Jellybean" car. Nothing that one associates with the prestige of owning a Mercedes. According to a study, in most markets the EQS Loses Nearly half Its Value After just One Year. As a result of its design and residual value, sales of the EQS are down by 40% globally only its second full year post debut. With the EV sector becoming quite competitive with both german counterparts performing better in EV sales and the threat from Chinese competitors like BYD also becoming quite serious for the brand, Mercedes really needs to transform its strategy to capture the EV market.

Cadillac displays new tech that makes track driving safer and more precise: Talk about cool tech: Velocity mode also utilizes the head-up display, projecting a "Ghost Car" ahead of you to serve as a guide when on track, paired with a "competitive driving course" designed to help drivers shave time off their laps or compete against fellow racers. The head-up display can also show road overlays and provide information about road conditions, and drivers can adjust active aero and suspension damping. Check out the Opulent Velocity. #IworkforGM

Interesting background from Reuters in regard to yesterday’s Volkswagen Group/Rivian news - especially THIS!?? ‘To overcome the difficulty of integrating starkly different work cultures that often plague such deals, Volkswagen leadership agreed to embrace Rivian's agility, its software chief Wassym Bensaid told analysts on Tuesday. He said "very clear rules and responsibilities" had been set for the JV’ I’m particularly pleased to hear that as I’d been quoted by Victoria Waldersee earlier in the day as suggesting different working systems & cultures would likely be a BIG issue! ‘Roger Atkins of consultancy Electric Vehicles Outlook Ltd also questioned whether Volkswagen and Rivian were compatible’ "There's the culture issue - trying to combine Rivian's full-stack vertically integrated and flexible, nimble software approach, with Volkswagen's more traditional approach of working with multiple suppliers and middle management is like shoving a square peg in a round hole," Article link ?? https://lnkd.in/eevQFAJA I also had a chat with the BBC about the general landscape for EV’s at this time - and what the VW/Rivian news suggested to the market. #electricvehicles #automotive #innovation #software /
