From Daring Fireballl:
A shame. Automatic was, a few years back, a regular sponsor of The Talk Show [a very popular podcast], and their diagnostic dingus, app, and service were all excellent. (Their last episode as a sponsor the November 2016 post-election “Holiday Party” with Merlin Mann.)
Automatic seemed like a good idea, but that it seemed to work okay and that they weren’t bought out tells me there wasn’t a lot of business to be done there. Guess most folks get by, like me, with a cheap ODB2 device with Bluetooth and a free app.
