From the post:

>Ford Motor Co. took an unusually human approach to fixing its stubborn quality problems: It brought back what it calls “gray beard” engineers to help train younger staff and to reprogram the artificial intelligence tools that weren’t getting the job done. Over the last three years, Ford says it has hired 350 veteran engineers, many of them former employees and others from suppliers, to help address seemingly intractable quality woes that have cost the automaker billions. The result: Ford is the top mainstream brand in the latest JD Power Initial Quality Survey, released Thursday.

Just when you thought new cars couldn't get any more boring or uninspired, they'll now have AI design them. Hooray! More boring than boring will be the new motto.

They're all so blah now, nothing new or exciting in years. I get more excited thinking about lunch than next year's cars. Just like so many other aspects of our culture, car design is now stagnant and such a disappointment.

Part of the reason is because of the miles of regulations and requirements from the gov. Sure safety is a good thing but we can't have small trucks because of retarded laws.

I know it. Yet another thing government has taken away from me/us. I'll never be able to purchase a 455 or 460 big block ever again because of CAFE. I also feel sad for younger persons who will never get to experience the ride quality of a Delta 98, Buick Electra 225, or Lincoln Continental, or feel the raw g-force torque of a Cobra Jet Mustang or a 455 GTO. These are on the best things in life list right after "hearing the lamentations of their women".

Yeah, Trump did walk-back CAFE but didn't end it. Its better than nothing but I would have much rather seen it ended entirely.
