Too Bad
they don't have enough staff to keep on top of expiring certs or was the plan just to have the gear drop dead out of warrantey?

No interaction is any good without personal profit. Trump is merely creating a mechanism for enriching God's chosen leader, Trump (Read your Trump Bible). Pressure will mount from US, Mexican, Canadian and Chinese businesses to appease the anointed one resulting in a sufficient purchase of $Trump and $Melania meme coin. This will probably get things sorted before US inflation results in revolution.
I don't know about the the meaning of the the tiers. Unless you are doing high end graphics, gaming or very large data you don't need the latest and greatest. Unless of course you are running the included bloatware on Windows. Most pron requires a tiny fraction of the computing and graphics power but the bosses will want the best and an AI engine on top of that.
There is a whole universe of them. I worked at a planetarium for a couple of years. It had luggable ones that would fit in an empty classroom. A large duffel bag carried the dome and a trunk carried the star projector and fan to inflate it. I added a shelf to the box to hold a Kodak carousel projector for presentations. If memory serves, the trunk became the star projector support. The star images were crude and the moon and planets did not exist. They were quite a hit with the elementary school crowd as it was like being in the working part of a bounce house and dark.
Engine management, anti-lock brakes and perhaps autonomous anti-collision braking avoidance are nice, but these functions do not require AI. However, if you want the car to pick your restaurant and vacation destination, this might be your ticket. As of now I carry a phone to make me stupid and that is enough extra tech. It can navigate in times of desperation and has the benefit of being turn offable or even chucked out the window if I choose.
What AI can do for or to us depends on the data set and rules the AI is trained on. My suspicion is that I or you are not going to be the ones given the training task. Thus AI will be a tool which does not empower the average person but just becomes another tool to control us. AIs will be promoted based on their ability to push power to the employer or large corporation. Expect egalitarian AIs to be made illegal.
Beer icon because Valentines Day.
my parents were horrified by an early arcade game where you ran over pedestrians with a very slow car, at which point they became grave markers that would bog down your car. The pedestrians were safe on the pavement but kept entering the street to be run down. All very simple, monochrome and probably responsible for the state of driving to this day.
They need it all, in addition to your payments and maintenance costs of course. Have they promised not to make your life hell if you think of changing brands? Do they have to inform you that you can opt out of some of their data mining? Have they even promised not to DOX, or SWAT you if you object? Waiting for bicycle manufacturers to follow suit...
I remember being told as and elementary school student in the 60's not to become a teacher as there was a surplus. Here in Hawaii we had a Christmas Tree cycle. Shortage with high prices one year and glut the next followed again by shortage. We seem to get all caught up in the current state of affairs and plan without seeing the cyclical nature of supply and demand. When in danger, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout.
