Well reality is probably that people that don't use their mirrors won't look at the screen either so no loss.

This means that looking at a real mirror your eyes don't need to change their focal point but for a camera mirror they do. The older you get, the harder this focal point shift it. This is fine in low speed maneuvers (like a reversing camera) but not ideal in highway situations. AFAIK the US market is yet to approve a camera only mirror system (they can be integrated into a real mirror and toggle between them), and this is one thing that I agree with (vs. quite a lot of other US-only regulation for cars that don't make sense). |

@Dadhawk
You can get a $5500 rebate in exchange for sharing your "Driver Habits". As first reported by Carsdirect.com, select buyers were offered a $5500 rebate on their vehicle, which the Detroit Free Press reported was on the condition that GM could collect data on how they use their Lyriq. Participants also had to sign a nondisclosure agreement prohibiting them from disclosing their experience with the Lyriq to anyone but GM. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a4...-rebate-study/

However, if it is extended I would certainly consider it, depending on the terms and conditions.

For one, you would sign an NDA, which to me is always a caution before heading down a road. The fact that you wouldn't be able to publicly talk about your experience with GM kind of throws me off. Leaves room for interpretation that some shady things could be happening and you would be SOL about pursuing legal action. Or things could go incredibly good.

I've signed probably 10 to 12 NDAs every year for the last 40 years for one thing or another (mostly software and hardware) so these aren't unfamiliar to me. I'm also not very litigious, so it would have to be something way off the rails before I would even consider a lawsuit. I suppose if maybe it burned my house down...

Is not a bad idea in essence. I think this should be practiced by more manufacturers, then again, so many things could go wrong and it would be a huge liability. But I have to say I can respect GMs for wanting to make sure they put out a quality product on the streets.

Customer deliveries are starting to pick up for the Debut Edition (ordered in 9/2021). Expectations are that once the US battery factory opens this month production will start to ramp up. There has also been an unexpected "parts constraint" which supposedly been resolved in the past couple of weeks. The Debut Edition only came in two colors Satin Steel Gray, and Black.

As an aside, someone needs to tell Jay it's "Blackwing" not "Batwing". I think the Engineer in this video was too in awe to correct him!
