Wow, thanks for sharing, I’d never seen this before:
> "The entire infotainment system is a HTML 5 super computer," Milton said. "That's the standard language for computer programmers around the world, so using it let's us build our own chips. And HTML 5 is very secure. Every component is linked on the data network, all speaking the same language. It's not a bunch of separate systems that somehow still manage to communicate."
The founder of an apparently very technically challenging company speaking like that should have been an instant red flag, that’s absolute nonsense.

What speaks volumes is that he clearly has no idea what he’s talking about but speaks as if he’s a domain authority. Of course, this is a classic trait of a megalomaniac fraudster.
