Japanese automakers Honda and Nissan have announced plans to join forces and form the world’s third-largest automaker by sales as the industry undergoes dramatic changes in its transition away from fossil fuels.
Quality of basically every automaker has tanked post COVID, including Honda. And the prices are highway robbery too, its all a race to the bottom now.
So car-centrism is even more ✨ terrible ✨ now? Golly, who could’ve predicted that relying on and enforcing a single industry for most of our transportation might result in rampant enshittification?
Please. Cars are no more susceptible to enshittification than any other consumer good.
Okay, enjoy your subscription seatwarmers, I guess.
That proves your point how exactly? You can come up with dozens of other products that try to charge a monthly fee to access features that used to be free. Or stuff it completely full of ads. Everything is going to shit.
Re prices.
This is what is pissing me off - I’m subsidizing car manufacturers by not being able to buy cheap Chinese cars, yet the assholes focus on expensive trucks I don’t need. If I’m socializing their losses - I don’t want them building cyber trucks, I want cheap affordable vehicles.
