This is jsut anther great example on how not to do it. They were very cocky in a 60 minutes story as few weeks ago in regards to Silicon Valley car makers.</p> <p>I think it is easier to learn to make a car if you have the basics of modern communication straight than doing vice versa;-)</p> I have a feeling GM has a LOT to learn and they are not doing it fast enough.
