There is now room for an entrant to come in and sell cars. Actual vehicles. The modern automobile is actually a computerized sensor platform on wheels.

It’s not a car.

Dodge announced no more ICE vehicles. Corporate suicide.

There is now room for an entrant to come in and sell cars. [ . . . ] Dodge announced no more ICE vehicles. Corporate suicide.

1, Cars that you picture have been regulated out of existence. Regs effectively require electronic rear view cameras, traction control, an assortment of air bags, high profiles, etc. 2026 regs call for 50 mpg. No ICE car worth having that meets safety and emission regs can do that.

2. The car manufacturers see that Red China by diktat, and EU and the USA by ever creeping regs, are making electric cars mandatory. Complaining about it won't let them keep market share in the new system.

3. DODGE is not discontinuing all ICE vehicles. The CHRYSLER BRAND is. Chrysler Corporation and Chrysler's model line are often confused. Chrysler brand has all of two vehicles, the Pacifica minivan and the 300. The 300 is half killed off anyway. That said, Stellantis IS killing off the high powered V-8's for Dodge, Jeep and Dodge Trucks/RAM. I would describe that as more of a homicide than a suicide.
