    The fact people tolerate such abhorrent software is bizarre. Some how we’ve come to accept that software needs updates and it comes flawed and thus updates are necessary.

    If a mechanical or electrical device needed this much fixing and delivered so flawed people wouldn’t stand for it. Especially an expensive car.

    Software can be delivered working and properly quality controlled. Aircraft, space and defence industries are all able to achieve it.

      I’m with you, but we have seen software bugs in aircraft and space. Probably defense too.

      A bug that completely bricks your vehicle is unacceptable.

        There was a GPS enabled range finder, sometimes it displayed the coordinates of what you were looking at, sometimes it gave your coordinates.

    This shit is so boring dystopian that old cyberpunk authors didn’t even thought about it. Imagine this in your cybernetic prosthesis or neural enhancements lol.
