This is an ooof. to straighten the timeline of events as i monitor the connected car space --

- 2016 YC invests in Smartcar.

- 2019 Otonomo lost lawsuit to Smartcar after stealing/copying them. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19719380

- 2021 YC decides to invest in Enode which cloning Smartcar. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26468448

- 2022 YC decides to invest in Telematica which cloning Smartcar.

I give this another 12 months for YC to invest in the next clone.

It would be of such niceness if telegram was fully end-2-end encryption.

I feel sadness for the Smartcar company. First they are completely cloned by Otonomo and now YC is investing in another clone?

YC is becoming a joke. Your website is carbon copy of SmartCar. Not sure if this or the calendar widget company is more amusing.
