One little traditional ICE car manufacturer is giving up on autonomy:

In relation to your earlier post where you say that FSD can be implemented in any type of vehicle technology, I note the following comment from the above article:

"Mercedes admitted that "software is a big stumbling block." Autonomous cars must communicate, analyze, and make decisions at lightning speed, which the company cannot achieve. That is why Mercedes' attention will now be focused not on innovation, but on the creation of conventional cars."

Unfortunately the original source article is in German:

https://www.rnd.de/wirtschaft/mercedes-gibt-autonomes-fahren-wegen-zu-starker-konkurrenz-auf-MDFJOQVJCJEDTBBDCTVA5N4EBI.htmlNot sure what others think, but to me this announcement is sort of a pretty big deal. It is not as if Mercedes does not know anything about technology. For them to simply give up on this ought to say something about where technology is heading.
