What's the point of this partnership? Both suck at self-driving technology.

If Toyota partnered with a self-driving technology specialist like Waymo, Uber, Intel, GM's SuperCruise etc, I understand, but Suzuki?

^ If you try to do it yourself, you will learn the know-how. If you partner with another company, chances are very high that certain technologies will not be released to the partner(s). With your own knowledge, you can further evolve from that. It will take longer time, but the rewards would be greater.

Why don't you ask all those South Korean technology companies that are scrambling to come up with their own materials now that they're worried Japan won't supply them?

I bet they wish they teamed up at home to come up with their own technology in the first place too.

But Toyota and Suzuki are the dumb ones... Ha.
