One possibility is that there might be features/options that might be built into a car just to keep the configurations down to a minimum that can be activated with software even sold at a later date for a fixed price.  Just as an example, it might be just easier to build every single vehicle with heated seats, even if they aren't activated off the assembly line. Down the road, someone can pay say a one time charge of $500 (pulling that number out of my ass) to get it work for the rest of the time they use the car. But that is also offset by people say wanting physical buttons in cars to do something like that. But that is a marketing and engineering exercise that I have no interest in solving without getting paid for it  

edit, scrap what I said.   President just announced   A very good meeting today with China in Switzerland Many things discussed, much agreed to. A total reset Negotiated in a friendly but constructive manner. We want to see for both the good of China and the US, an opening up of China to American business. GREAT PROGRESS MADE!!!!   Now watch the stock market boom on Monday….

Thats laughable. The CCP won’t swallow their pride and take the L and it’s going to crush their economy. It’s already starting with several major Chinese banks going insolvent this week. 

Except he controls the term that others have to meet, that’s not negotiation.

So even if you take the death penalty off the table you still have life in prison.  Still doesn’t stop them.  Criminals are criminals and they’re either stupid or don’t care.

I agree with the last part but the first part is silly.  If she was willing to do something “if asked nicely” then why not offer that to resolve the tariff situation?  Makes no sense.  Thats why it’s called negotiation.

All I hope is that the talks with China prove to be fruitful so that supply of fentanyl and base chemicals  can be cut off at the source. 

Disagree completely.  That’s liberal talk based on bad data because most liberals don’t actually want to execute anyone.  For punishment to be effective, studies have shown that the probability of getting caught and sentenced are just as important, if not more so.  Most hard core criminals know perfectly well that their chances of being convicted and executed are about as low as winning the lottery.  So yeah, they laugh all the way to the bank, drawing others to emulate.

Like Visteon?

I enjoy driving so much that makes me not value these types of features very much, though also know others can be polar opposites. Anyway, initially it seemed dependent mostly on age, where younger buyers are more likely to accept less driving control while older buyers prefer to remain in charge, but there is evidence that some younger people not only prefer lower-cost vehicles, but also have concerns over privacy, greater vehicle complexity, etc.  A little automation makes sense to me, but the high cost charged by Tesla for FSD, as example, shows most buyers are not willing to buy the feature.  Take rate for Tesla FSD remains fairly low IIRC.
