The Wheels of Revolution: A Scathing Critique of the Status Quo
Welcome to the latest installment of "TechCrunch Mobility", where we dissect the rotting carcass of the transportation industry and expose the hypocrisy of the so-called "innovators". Buckle up, folks, because this week’s newsletter is going to blow your mind.
Korea’s Institute of Machinery and Materials: The Poster Child for Innovation
Take a look at this so-called "robotic wheelchair" from Korea’s Institute of Machinery and Materials. Oh, wow, a wheelchair that can navigate over rocks and stairs. What a revolutionary concept. How many lives will this miraculous invention save? Zero, because it’s just a publicity stunt to distract from the real issues plaguing our society.
Lyft’s Micromobility Business: A Laughable Attempt to Stay Relevant
Lyft is restructuring its micromobility business because, let’s face it, it’s a losing proposition. They’re throwing in the towel, and we’re all just pawns in their game of corporate musical chairs. Who’s next? Uber? We’ll just have to wait and see.
Tesla’s Electric Future: A Joke
Tesla’s electric future is a joke. A billionaire’s plaything to further his own ego. When will they finally put the brakes on this self-driving car nonsense and focus on making a real impact?
The Future of Flight: A Pipe Dream
Archer Aviation thinks it’s making progress on its electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, but let’s be real, it’s just a distraction from the real issues plaguing our skies. We’ll never achieve true innovation until we tackle the elephant in the room: government corruption and corporate greed.
This Week’s Wheels: A Scathing Review of the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV
I spent a few days driving the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV 2LT, and let me tell you, it’s a disappointment. A front-wheel drive, 85 kilowatt-hour battery, and an estimated 319 miles of range? Please. It’s just a Band-Aid on a bullet wound. The real issue is the lack of true innovation and the continued reliance on fossil fuels.
The Verdict: A Scathing Critique of the Status Quo
The transportation industry is a joke, folks. A bunch of self-serving corporations and politicians who care more about lining their pockets than making a real impact. We’ll never achieve true innovation until we tackle the root of the problem: the rotting carcass of our current system. So, buckle up, because this week’s newsletter is just the beginning of a revolution.
