The article is mostly talking about Ford.

Maybe that's because Ford makes cars.

fnord77 Aug 19, 2021 View on HN

is this like Ford saying they're going to stop making vehicles?

Logic Henry Ford would recognize.

Henry Ford also thought it was telling that people wanted faster horses right?

looks like Ford is done innovating

I thought Ford already came up with a car instead of the horse his customers asked for.

Nobody is trying to buy a Ford...

Ford can't make them fast enough, apparently

It's a joke referencing Henry Ford, don't worry about it.
