I believe in the VW case they checked to see if the wheels were turning quickly but the car wasn't moving.

"Layoffs are the new hiring!"

Didn't they buy a company that "specializes" in vehicle IoT? I remember getting recruiter emails for this company whose major claim to fame was that they were a Ford subsidiary focused on vehicle IoT.

Best return but worst customer response?

Love it when our highest court just flat out refuses to consider cases it doesn't like.

The army of contract developers will work the way they always do. The army of contract BA's, project managers, and other managers will work the same way they always do. As usual, it will take years to get nothing done but a lot of money will be spent.

Where's a NordVPN ad when you need it?

...I don't think anyone was really shocked. Is this journalism?

Based on past work I've done with external EEG caps (not implants), I would imagine this prices requires training before brainwaves can be interpreted as words. E.g. the subject thinks the word "hello" as brain activity is recorded, and later the computer tries to fuzzy match current brain activity with previous records to identify the correct word (or image).

If that process applies with this implant, you'd have to very intentionally focus on a pre-trained word before it would show up on the screen.

Looks like a cheese grater.

I.e. quality costs money.
