Separate hardware/software. Ford for example does this. The infotainment modules shipped in Chinese Fords are completely different, running software developed by a Chinese team.
That makes it okay then, proprietary software that we can't really find out what it does 😑
Will probably depend on if the data stays with Toyota or is shared with Huawei
And whether governments and politicians trust Toyota to tell — or even know — the truth about where their data lives.
And how many payments the politicians take from local/competing car companies haha
Is that the difference? Wasn't Toyota also in the business of selling your driving data to insurance companies?
The difference is that there were concerns Huawei would share the data with the Chinese government for them to spy on various groups/individuals
Most countries like America have no problem with you selling the data to other companies or governments (the US Gov themselves buy huge amounts of data) to spy on you, just not to the Chinese government.
So if the data stays with Toyota (or the people they sell it to), they aren't likely to upset the governments... But if the data is directly shared with Huawei, it's likely to run into some pretty quick walls
Well, there goes Toyota Quality. Looks like they're going full Boeing.
Can someone explain why huawei is hated but not Facebook and Google ? Aren't they all doing the same thing ?
facebook and google are also hated. Just not by the government.
Facebook is literally the fifth most hated https://www.axios.com/2023/05/23/corporate-brands-reputation-america
Toyota should sign with someone to help facilitate EV development. Having one model (bZ4X) really isn't all that impressive.
Announcing stuff is great, but it's not yet 2025.
That also would mark only 2 models, as great as a 100% increase is.
On top of that, the bZ4x is apparently a really shitty car. So on top of only having that one model, it's also a terrible one.
