Sort of as the Japanese completely ROFL-stomped latge portions of the USA's automakers' offerings by simply building better quality cars in the 70s and 80s, I would be delighted to see China offer an open-source platform their respective EV manufacturers could adopt. No data collection, no subscriptions, just simple and robust apps. It'll never happen for a long list of reasons but it's nice to dream.
- cqqxo4zV46cp 3y agoYou’re conflating very real usability concerns with a very nerdy wish list that has little to no broad appeal. Realistically people aren’t fussed about tracking and they certainly aren’t fussed about open source.
- fragmede 3y agoBut this is the Internet age. It doesn't need mass market appeal. If enough people throw into the Kickstarter, it can happen.
- bluGill 3y agoSure, you can buy cars with those things easy to adjust already. For more than $million each. Such companies can't handle selling 10 of them in a year. (even then most of the parts are from a standard car, they just expose a few minor changes)
- riskable 3y agoThe success of routers that can run OpenWRT would beg to differ.
- fragmede 3y agoI'm not sure what your point is. Has there been a prosumer mesh AP product that runs OpenWRT on Kickstarter that I didn't see that failed? Quite possible as I don't trawl through Kickstarter for my wallet's sake. Ubiquity is in the middle of destroying themselves, so something in the prosumer space seems like it would do well.
