#2Abandons NEW combustion engine development. They’re still developing their existing combustion engine platforms further and aren’t giving up on ICE.

Even from the title alone, I thought that was pretty clear.

#5ICE’s have over a century of development behind them now. I’m not going to miss them, but I wonder if there’s a way to ‘archive’ this kind of specialist mechanical engineering knowledge. It may come in handy one day.
It’s depressing to read about engineers having to go to the Smithsonian to study the lunar lander to relearn some of the innovations and improvisations made at the time.

#6No doubt they will still license and manufacture ICE tech.

Really? How?
The word development. They won’t be developing ICE technology any further. It seems unlikely to me that they’d stop producing ICEs altogether, but I can see why they’d focus on developing electric technologies instead.

For posterity, I wish all this information would make its way to a public repo as to not be lost in the sands of time.

#9Audi is just one of the brands of Volkswagen group. I wonder if Audi will just get support from other groups.

#10I wonder if we'll ever see development in External Combustion Engines. They have the same instant torque as electric cars, and in their latest iterations were proven much more efficient than ICE.
