The Xiaomi SU7 is a perfect example. Xiaomi took 3 years from concept to their very first car. That in itself is insanely impressive, let alone the fact it’s a great EV with a tonne of self-driving capability to rival Tesla, and comes in far cheaper.

Meanwhile Apple decided to pull the plug on their first car. It’s pretty telling of the situation.
I love that Android chose Java so they could run it on different processor architectures, but in the end one architecture won out so Java wasn’t necessary any more. I guess they didn’t know at the time, but they’d claw back a tonne of efficiency if they dropped the Java VM.
