It feels like this has become common for any older industries that are moving deeper into tech. Even the companies that are bleeding edge seem to have trouble running software teams.

So not the cars but the telematics company.


Hi there , I'm from country where you could unlock many cars of same model with your car key, yet there was little or no car theft.


To me this is just a proxy for the number of bugs the car might have that could show up at some point.

That’s more worrying than car theft.


There were no bugs then, there was very little electronics in a car. Not like in Uber.
