Being Wrong While Being Right

I really like Rivian, and RJ Scaringe seems like a good dude, but his comments nearly gave me an aneurism.

@caseyliss so Volkswagen will use rivian os for their next cars (they have shares in Rivian because they had “issues” creating their own OS). Curious if they have to implement CarPlay for them in the OS. I don’t think that VW management would release a car in Europe without CarPlay.
@bitboxer @caseyliss ironically, current native VW software seems to be fine. Not great, but fine, you could live with it. And it supports CarPlay, which makes it better than Tesla or Rivian for me, no matter how good their native software is.
@Janne_O @caseyliss yeah…the problem is that they had to postpone releases of cars by 2 years because the software side did not deliver on time. It was just a huge mess with the “we have thousands of suppliers and need to cram it all together in one working system” vs the “lets build a big computer and attach everything to it” approach.
