No, because the barrier to entry for car manufacturing is significant.

If the other major car manufacturers weren’t already working a similar advertising system/platform, they’ve already scheduled multiple meetings to catch up.

This isn’t a problem that will be solved by the market and competition, only by regulation.

And I don’t consider tech savvy users learning how to hack and disable these features as a resolution, it’s just mitigation.

What do you mean go wrong?

All of the “consequences” that would arise from a program like this, are intentional.

AliExpress is not even close to Amazon except for the fact that it does a great job at providing a wide selection of Chinese products, but cheaper and with longer lead times.

What makes Amazon, Amazon, is its customer service. Without that, it’s like eBay. But even eBay has significantly better customer service than AliExpress.

Speaking as someone who has used AliExpress a lot, it’s pretty good, but only if you understand that all sales are final. Best cast scenario, the seller makes you pay for shipping which generally costs anywhere from 50% to 250% of your original purchase price.

Their customer service always defers to sellers in my experience, and even if they approve a return, what’s the point if you lose money by shipping it back?
