Honda just killed their EV plans and pivoted to AI instead.
Not because AI is trendy. Because they found a specific problem it actually solves — integrating Sony's systems into their vehicles in ways that create real value for drivers.
That's the lesson most people miss.
You've probably seen the AI headlines and felt that familiar pressure. Then maybe bought a tool your team quietly stopped using three months later. That's not a failure of intelligence. That's what happens when "adopt AI" replaces "solve a specific problem with AI."
Honda didn't say "we need to be an AI company." They asked where technology could improve something customers already care about. That's the only question worth asking.
The businesses winning with AI right now aren't the ones who went all-in on the biggest platform. They're the ones who identified one painful, repetitive process — quoting, customer follow-up, scheduling, reporting — and fixed that one thing first.
Pick your most annoying weekly task. The one you'd pay to never do again. That's your starting point. Not a platform. Not a strategy. One task.
