Project Arrow Gets an Additional $7 Million From Ottawa
It's a few months old, but in light of recent events I think it still checks out. Make sure to watch the walkaround!
Seriously can we just have a car without all the self-driving bullshit though. Make an electric car that's affordable and Canadian-made FIRST, then work on the autonomous shit
I just want a car that goes with buttons and knobs for everything. No cameras, no touch screens, just Bluetooth pair and/or aux port for the radio.
Buttons and knobs for sure, though I'd prefer to have a backup camera and I do appreciate the one for right-hand turns on the mirror of my car.
I'm not actually sure how much the hardware for self-driving costs. The billions being poured in are for the software development, and once software is made it can be copied for free, like the Chinese did with LLMs recently.
That being said, this was a concept car. They might leave that and the gimmicky smartfabric out in a production version. And have doors that both open the same way, so people can all exit at once in a crowded parking lot.
Lidar, all the cameras/sensors, and the processing unit for all this definitely cost money.
My car it cost $300 to replace a windshield. My wife's it cost over $1000 due to the optics/sensor unit behind the windshield
