Toyota signs Huawei to help accelerate smart driving development

How will this work in countries that have banned Huawei?
- Separate hardware/software. Ford for example does this. The infotainment modules shipped in Chinese Fords are completely different, running software developed by a Chinese team.
  
  That makes it okay then, proprietary software that we can't really find out what it does 😑
- Will probably depend on if the data stays with Toyota or is shared with Huawei
  
  And whether governments and politicians trust Toyota to tell — or even know — the truth about where their data lives.
  
  Is that the difference? Wasn't Toyota also in the business of selling your driving data to insurance companies?
Can someone explain why huawei is hated but not Facebook and Google ? Aren't they all doing the same thing ?
Well, there goes Toyota Quality. Looks like they're going full Boeing.
Toyota should sign with someone to help facilitate EV development. Having one model (bZ4X) really isn't all that impressive.

  Announcing stuff is great, but it's not yet 2025.
  That also would mark only 2 models, as great as a 100% increase is.
- On top of that, the bZ4x is apparently a really shitty car. So on top of only having that one model, it's also a terrible one.
