That sounds like a cry to be bought by the highest bidder. Just of the shelf hardware and some pixie dust, err, "AI". Sure thing they'll find some car company that will sink some millions into their company.

Remember the Tesla insider that leaked a bunch of firmware and system details?

If it's to believed, the charge rate limit from a Supercharger is already maxed out -- they're pushing energy into the battery as fast as the charger can supply it (and taking some safety risks in the process).

This same company has been around for a few years with spurious claims about improving laptop battery life with their AI algorithms. So far nobody has seen evidence that it works, and nobody is lining up to buy them.
