@servelan Just like any automaker/company who's primary focus is on their bottom line, they're not going to do jack until this leads to unfortunate deaths.

The #EmilyGT Lives!
Before National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the Chinese company that bought #Saab’s assets when #Sweden's #automaker went bankrupt, gave up on making #cars, its engineers developed an #EV #sedan called the Emily GT. And while we probably won’t ever see another new Saab, we might actually get to see the Emily GT thanks to a company in #Canada called #EVElectra that just bought the rights to produce it.

#ElonMusk takes zealot stance against #union as #Tesla #strike expands in #Sweden
#Automaker has always had hard stance against #unions, and it has been able to fend off #unionization efforts at its manufacturing facilities. Several other unions in Sweden have joined forces to mess with Tesla’s operations in order to put pressure on the company. Port workers, electricians, and cleaning services that deal with Tesla in the country have refused to work with the company!

@tehstu wow! "According to the #Nissan USA #privacy notice, the #automaker may collect and share a ton data for targeted marketing purposes, including:
Sensitive personal information, including driver's license number, national or state identification number, citizenship status, immigration status, race, national origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, sexual activity, precise geolocation, health diagnosis data, and genetic information.
"Nissan's privacy policy stands out as one of the most amazing things I've ever read," Caltrider said. "They aren't shy about saying they could collect all of this stuff."
Every single Automaker reviewed by mozzilla's latest edition of "privacy not included" (including Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota BMW and 20 others) failed miserably, sharing biometrics, facial recognition, sexual activity, genetic & health info, and more.
There are strong vibes of empire building here:
"A patriotic call by #China's bestselling #automaker to band the industry together and "demolish the old legends" of the global market has gone viral."
"It's an emotional need for the 1.4 billion Chinese people to see a Chinese brand becoming global." -- #BYD chair Wang Chuanfu
