<p>Yes. But in my car the downside is that it does not tell which wheel has a problem, just a generice message: check tyre pressure.<p>Real TPMS sensors inside the wheel give much more accurate information.</p>

<p>I don't think they can. The infotainment is outsourced to who knows where and those people develop based on specs sent by the manufacturer: as cheap as possible and as fast as possible. Unless you actually spend time understanding what people want, how they want it, if they like it or not, you cannot have a superior product.<p>I have a newish car (2023 make) with an Android based infotainment system: the built-in maps move so slow, no online updates (I have to use a stick to update them once a year) and so on. Basically they put it there I think out of habit, not that the majority of their customer demand in-car navigation as a must to buy it.</p>

<p>>  Is it that different from the Android implementation? Is there something special about it?<p>It just works and it is, like others before me said, consistent. I can connect my iPhone to any car I drive that has CatPlay and the dashboard looks like I like it. And Spotify starts right from where it left off in the other car.<p>Can't speak for the Android experience.</p>

<p>> The EU's verification laws will ensure much more of these leaks in the future, and therefore much more fines<p>So its a feature, not a bug and a clever revenue stream for the governments?</p>

<p>It is not an option in every country to do what you do. Thinking of it, its probably a quirk if Germany that you can go to a Post Office to be “verified”.</p>

<p>Too many people expressing themselves on the internet with nothing that can be done against them...<p>From a government perspective, it is a gold mine to know who's on the internet. For advertisers it is another goldmine - you can target at will without having to figure out first some demographics. An probably there are some angles I don't yet see, but the fact that this is a concentrated effort across the world make my spidey sense tingle.<p>And who doesn't want to protect the children?</p>

<p>I get why AI might be detrimental to the students especially in competing fields or classes, but they have a high chance to fail in life because they can't rely on ChatGPT or other AIs their entire lives and be successful.<p>But being upset that people use available technology to solve problems is quite an exaggeration and makes the guy close to being a luddite. He can just say "Hey, we do exams on paper and in class next time" and be done with it if he does not like technology.</p>

<p>> When it comes to tax issues etc. it turns out the company registration is meaningless.<p>Taxes have nothing to do with the physical location of the company. You go after the owners, and I'm pretty sure you can't open a company in the UK anonymously.</p>

<p>> Ranting about choosing most complex business form and having no money for a consultant is not adequate in my eyes.<p>You shouldn't need a consultant to open a company. Should be a form and that's it. Maybe an accountant to certify your books, but that's it.</p>

<p>> But BV requires your primary place of business to be the Netherlands, which isn't always practical when you're trying to extend your activities internationally<p>You bill from the Netherlands and I think this is the only thing required. Uber in Europe charges your cards from Uber BV for example. And I think Uber is pretty international.</p>
