Well only those of you who didn't bother with reading the opening paragraph of the linked article.
So...everyone.
Automakers, though large and well-established, haven't put much effort into building the platform on which their cars run.
There's a reason for that. They're quite bad at it. That, and BlackBerry/QNX are quite good at it. Currently if you want Apple Car or Android Auto in your vehicle that vehicle will be running BlackBerry QNX Car as both platforms are simply plug-ins for QNX Car. BlackBerry needs to renegotiate its contracts such that they get credit just like Microsoft did with Sync so people know how pervasive BlackBerry actually is. Currently over 50% of the cars made worldwide run QNX Car. The problem is car makers choose what plug-ins to license for their vehicles and then customize the interface to their liking. That has led to some atrocious UI over the years but BlackBerry has sought to improve the situation with QNX Car 2.0 by providing more UI tools and widgets. Much of what Android Auto and Apple Car bring to the table have been possible for years. Car makers simply didn't see any need to add those features to their vehicles.
Being completely addicted to anything, no matter how harmless in moderation (games, porn, alcohol, other drugs) etc is generally considered to be a bad thing.
I'm addicted to breathing air and I also think I would die if I stopped eating...PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
While it might not be normal his conclusions are dubious. correlation != causation and all that.
Recently it seems more Kickstarters end in fiasco/resentment than success.
That's because most people with great ideas are bad at business. Creative types tend to shun business models for catwalk models. They can't be burdened with the task of actually running a business. There are notable exceptions but for most if they don't partner with an MBA/CPA the business is doomed.
All seems condemned in the long run to approximate a state akin to Gaussian noise. -- James Martin
