Tesla Says It’s the Future of Cars. Did GM Prove It Right?
- Corrado 8y agoI think that Tesla is really shaping the future of the automobile as well as the automobile industry. GM is the latest example but I think that Ford and others are really starting to take notice and change their ways. However, given the history of the industry I'm not sure an old-school car company can change it's stripes any more than the coach builders could 100 years ago. Best quote of the article: "For her part, Barra (GM CEO) told the AP that the company needs more coders now, and fewer mechanical engineers. “The vehicle has become much more software-oriented,” she said. “We still need many technical resources in the company.” On Twitter, GM also pushed back at critics of its restructuring, saying it will add “technical and engineering jobs that will support the future of mobility.”"
