Automakers after exceptionally high profit while their volumes was lower and lower seems to be come to an end, the AI push, a clear bubble, seems ready to burst, most tech-centric projects from autonomous vehicles to smart cities show their bad outcome. Essentially in the west we seems to be still the best ONLY in PR and weapons. All others sectors are down.
BTW just to show where we are here in EU a BYD Atto 3 costs for the basic version ~37.990€ while in Thailand (so imported as well from China) cost ~8750€ while our small power tools producer have started to produce only crap and hyper-expensive non-crappy tools, with even DRM in batteries locking the user out of the ability to switch the same battery from two same vendor devices, in China all batteries can be swapped from any vendor simply because they choose standard connectors. There are simple examples, but also good enough indicators how bad things are.
We are still better in software, but with current management trends it will not last longer, and with current scholar reforms... Well... I doubt new generations can be less than mere incompetent than ever...
