    By this logic, any car company with any advanced driving aids are “AI” companies, and therefore the likes of VW, Toyota, Honda, Mercedes, BMW, Hyundai, Jaguar, etc aren’t actually car companies.

    Come off it. They’re car companies. It’s just that one of their car’s features is some function that relies on machine learning.

    You may as well call Ford a cup holder company by this logic - after all, they’ve had cup holders for so long now!

      aren’t actually car companies.

      You’re making the same assumption many others in this thread do that “AI company” and “car company” are non-overlapping circles on a Venn diagram. In my view this is as ludicrous as saying that “Apple is a phone company, not a software company”
