The new gearbox envisioned by GM and Ford will be utilized on a variety of different front- and rear-wheel-drive products, the makers said, noting their shared goal of bringing the technology to market sooner, and at a lower cost, than if they worked together.
So ICE cars need 10 speed gearbox to be more efficient..... Must say I like Teslas single speed gearbox better.....
hate to sound like a cynic, but more complexity means more stuff that can break, and if it does break it's more costly to repair.
Wait... We're predicting their doom because they're taking time to build more efficient transmissions instead of the EVs you feel they should build? Why? Cost? Complexity? People claimed the new DSGs were going to be horrible and super problematic. I think there was a smattering of first-year issues (taken care of under warranty) and now nothing. Our A6 has a 7-speed S-Tronic transmission, and it's smooth as butter. It's actually pretty hard to tell when it shifts at all. Again, no problems.
Granted I'm not 10 years into ownership (though the GLI is close, and I know the person who bought it and he has no issues), but throwing out insane costs and predicting the death of these companies because they're building more efficient transmissions is pretty much equivalent to the uninformed anti-EV BS that gets thrown around by those with their own agenda. It's not one way or the highway people.
P.S. didn't Tesla only go to the single speed transmission because they had issues with the 2-speed and couldn't figure it out?
Kodak was essentially gone in 8 years. They did not go "all in" when digital took over.
Nikon, Canon moved with the format so maybe GM and all can do it too.
IBM survived the PC revolution. They're one of the exceptions, and it required a radical reinvention of the company - they've moved from mainframe computers to PC manufacturing to providing software services.

I bought several early Kodak digital cameras. They were definitely trying it out and innovating. I think the film division kept sticking daggers in their back.....
Yep. My 1st digital camera was a Kodak DC290 Zoom Review: Digital Photography Review. My parents still have it and it still works.Was waiting for someone to point out Kodak's digital cameras. They actually were quite early in the digital realm and still hold several key patents on chips and image processing.
Wow. I just looked at the specs of that. Hahaha. Those were the days.... when there weren't even any 1 megapixel consumer digital cameras.I had a Kodak DC50...
