Volkswagen created, with Rivian, something close to the textbook move: a jointly owned unit, outside the old boundaries, building the software-defined vehicle on a clean sheet. The interesting question is not whether it works. It is what happens if it wins.
The test is observable: how much real vehicle work runs on RV Tech's operating model by September 2027. I will score this in public that month, right or wrong. Full analysis, every source cited, in the first reply.

every time you intervene and correct your agent, you should think about how to eliminate it entirely.
in order of value:
1. categorically eliminate the problem through better architecture or choice of data structures
2. turn it into a lint rule or test so CI catches it
3. turn it into a skill or rule
4. have humans review the code to catch it (ngmi)
Making things stopped being the hard part. Nobody told the org chart.
Production became cheap. Specification became the bottleneck. I call the old belief the Production Illusion.
First field note is out.
