By banning Chinese software, the U.S. risks isolating its automakers from the integrated systems, standards, and partnerships shaping the global electric vehicle market.
The article basically says vertical integration is the winning standard. How does the US banning Chinese software prevent us from integrating verically?
Also, why compare the price of the cheapest BYD car to the average cost of an EV in the US?
Unless I’m missing something, this is a bad article because it doesn’t support the headline.
What the article says is that the US is becoming a hermit kingdom with its own technological standards while the rest of the world continues to adopt Chinese ones. The article supports the headline just fine, the problem happens to be between the chair and the keyboard.
I agree, just not sure which keyboard and which chair yet.
How does banning Chinese software have any impact on that? Software is just one piece of the pie/puzzle. Are countries picking Chinese standards because of their software? Or is it because they are cheaper? And banning software doesn’t prevent us from adopting their standards either. We’d just need to make our own software if we did.
No, software is not a one piece puzzle lmfao. It’s pretty clear you have no idea the difficulty involved in integrating different software stacks. Try figure out how to run iPhone apps on Android and see how that one piece puzzle works out for you. If majority of the world is using a particular standard, then it’s very difficult for companies that don’t adhere to it to operate in most countries. Countries are picking Chinese standards because Chinese EVs dominate world sales. They’re the de facto standard. And yes, American companies would have to duplicate the work if they ever wanted to sell cars on the global market. That’s, of course, assuming that Americans can even build an EV that anybody would buy.
