In 2019, BMW announced that it would begin charging owners of its vehicles $80 per year for the privilege of using Apple CarPlay, which mirrors an iPhone's screen and functionality on the infotainment display. It's not only stand­ard in a $14,595 Chevrolet Spark, the least expensive car available in the U.S., but is also a feature that Apple does not make BMW pay for. Consumers mutinied, and the Bavarians retreated. But not for long. BMW next decided that it would return to a subscription model for features such as a smartphone-based virtual key, remote start, and even heated seats.

Porsche offers a range-optimization feature and lane-keeping assist on its Taycan electric models for a monthly charge. Cadillac does the same with its hands-free Super Cruise driver assistance, and Audi with its immersive Wi-Fi-enabled navigation system. Of course, Tesla now asks customers to plunk down $200 per month for its always-a-day-away misnomered Full Self-Driving. Welcome to the digital automotive buffet, where you can pick and choose what you want—then pay for it every month.
"It's worked great for Adobe, which went from selling copies of Photoshop for $700 to offering only a subscription license," says Sam Abuelsamid, principal analyst at Guidehouse Insights, where he oversees vehicle tech research. Now graphic designers pay $21 a month, forever.
Representatives from BMW, Audi, and Porsche all point to benefits for consumers. "U.S. customers mostly select vehicles from dealer inventory," says Jay Hanson, a BMW tech spokesperson. "Function on demand has the potential to streamline the process of the customer finding the car they want." Hmm, so would including the good stuff as standard.
In reality, the concept streamlines the process of manufacturing, saving automakers money. Instead of building cars with many different option packages to spec, companies can produce one fully equipped model and charge consumers to turn on the features they want. "You're going to have increased complexity in the car but less complexity in manufacturing," Abuelsamid says. "There may be enough economies of scale in reducing manufacturing cost to save the cost of adding hardware."

Automakers could also see residual value bounce back to them. Consumers who purchase their vehicle but lease their options won't build equity in desirable features, so when it's time to unload their car, years of paying for advanced navigation or remote start won't bring them a higher resale price. Rather, that becomes a component the manufacturer can continue to rent to the next customer.
Automakers "talk about flexibility," Abuelsamid says. "You don't need heated seats in the summer. So if you can turn those subscriptions on easily, you can pay for them only when you want to use them. Of course, you also have the responsibility to turn off the subscription when you're not using it. And people in the subscription business count on the idea that if the price is low enough, customers will forget to unsubscribe. Once you've got it, you're getting just enough benefit from it to not unsubscribe. Think about all your streaming services."
We'd rather not.

The current crop of engines will apparently be Hyundai's final fuel burners.

 

The electric push is on as manufacturers race to position themselves for an EV future. Many companies have made verbal commitments to going all-electric, but Hyundai could be taking a bold step by ending the development of future internal combustion engines right now.

 

That's the word in a report from Business Korea. In an article that dropped just before Christmas, the report claims Hyundai Motor Group officially cut its engine development department at the company's Namyang Research Institute south of Seoul. The report also states the automaker's powertrain group was reorganized into an electrification development team, and that a battery development group was established.

Tojota ladno pravi automobile a da Suzuki zalepi svoj znak na njih. Tako da pored rav 4 postoji i Suzuki across, doduše samo u phev verziji i košta 40+k evra. Sve kao dil da Suzuki pravi automobile za Tojotu u Indiji.

To im je jedini izlaz, da ne bi placali kazne za ponderisanu kontaminaciju. Tako je i Krajsler-Fiat placao Tesli grdne pare da bi se odrzao u propisanim granicama, sve dok se nije udruzio sa Pezoom.

Šta je ponderisana kontaminacija i zašto se to plaća?

Svaka korporacija npr VW ima odredjenu zakonom normu da ispuni sto se tice ispustanja gasova, lupam npr 123 mg. U to ulaze svi od VW preko Bugatija, pa se podeli vrednost u odnosu sa proizvedenim modelima, inace bi djavola jedan Bugati video svetlost dana. Suzuki nema tih opcija, pa dolazi do bizarne situacije da njihov model Jimny bude zabranjen na trzistu EU kao model sa pet sedista, vec samo kao komercijalna teretna varijanta, jer zagadjuje preko proseka a nema odgovarajuce modele da ponderise prosek..

Zato se ustvari kupuju kvote od velikih proizvodjaca da se taj prosek zagadjivanja smanji ili direktno lovom ili stavljanjem sopstvenog bedza na tudji auto.

[Lancia]

Zato je btw doslo do ujedinjenja Rimca i Bugatija,  jer VW vise nije mogao da nadomescuje kvotom nivo zagadjivanja koji ta marka pravi, ovako sa elektricnim Rimcem to ide lakse.
