Which Ride?

I think Chinese cars are already in America. On a recent work trip, my rental car from Hertz was a Buick Envision. It was a comfortable ride with all the bells and whistles. Full glass cockpit. I gave a co-worker a ride to lunch and he was wondering where it was manufactured. He looked at the VIN and low and behold, the VIN started with an L (outside US), not a number (US). L == China. WTAF? Buick is selling Chinese cars with US labels?

Fascinating, I did a little research and lo…Buick’s are made in China and are very popular there. Interesting to know they are shipped to the U.S.

Have the lawyers figured out who to sue when a self driving car crashes? Until that happens, I don’t see self driving progressing too far.
