Volkswagen Investing $70.5 Billion in new technology
- zaidf 16y agoHey Car Industry, how about just making the iPod connectors a default with the cars you ship? You'd think after a decade of iPods it'd be a given.
- scalyweb 16y agoHaving never owned an iPod but always having handheld gadgets around, I'd have to kindly hope that the default external audio/media connection is NOT to a an Apple product.
- brc 16y agoThis kind of reporting is pretty irrelevant unless we know if this a decrease or increase over the prior 5 years worth of investment. Note that this amount includes new platform development as well as new factories and other infrastructure. It sounds like a lot of money but VW is a seriously large company. For all we know, from 2005-2010 they spent 100b on new investments. The information is out of context and thus, not much use.
- elblanco 16y agoHopefully it'll be spent on making cars that don't need constant servicing.
- sleepingbot 16y agoThis is irrelevant. It's PR. Short as well. I don't understand why it got to the feed. Unless some users are voting after an order.
