While making it sound like they care about your, productivity or the world in general what matters to Volvo is their profits and the preceding brainwash to get the right traction and acceptance.
[Digress: Volvo's pitch to legitimize joining forces with Uber to fully automate driving.]
- icebraining 9y agoDo you expect Volvo to make more profits in an era where fewer people own cars? I don't think car manufacturers are rubbing their hands at the thought of becoming suppliers to be squeezed by Uber et all, rather than sellers of aspirational items to billions of individuals. I see them as resigning themselves to that future.
- Xunxi 9y agoThe passenger is monetized and Volvo becomes a conduit through which everything listed in the top comment gets implemented and even It has nothing to do with the number of cars being sold.
- icebraining 9y agoA conduit is only valuable if they have a monopoly. Otherwise they just become a dumb pipe, with the value all being conducted back to the service.
