Hold the Glitz. GM Ditches LED Wall Encasing People Mover

A planned 70-foot by 80-foot LED wall that was to encase the Detroit People Mover station at the RenCen has been dropped from GM's ongoing RenCen renovations scheduled to be finished at the end of the year. No reasons cited.

As a shareholder, I say bravo. Throw everything possible into R&D of electrical, autonomous and mobility solutions. This is a transformative moment in auto-making and mobility, not a time for sizzle and pizazz. Never get left behind again.

I think it woulda been cool. I love led lighting technology so to me it's too bad.

It's been pretty obvious for a while that GM's in penny pinching mode.

So this was probably nixed for no other reason than a cost savings.

Anything significant being done with this the umpteenth renovation of the RenCen? I know they are redoing the car display.

I think it would've been cool so long as the flip switch did not fall out of the ignition!
