Buick debuted its production-ready take on vehicle-to-everything technology at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November. By rolling out V2X, Buick becomes the first brand in China to deploy the technology to the masses.

But what do qualified, trained automotive designers think about it? Well, Frank Stephenson - one of the most prolific of them all - recently posted a new video deconstructing the Cybertruck s design. Remember, this is the guy who created the McLaren P1, the first-gen BMW X5, and the Ferrari F430, so he knows what he s talking about.
