Imagine owning a car that can be remotely bricked by the manufacturer at all let alone by accident.
Couldn’t be me.
Mine has a remote update functionality that has yet to be used! I think it only is for updated to the screens, anything else needs physical udates, I assume those are firmware upgrades on specific components.
I cant imagine owning a vehicle where the average person actually needs to care about software versions.
If I woke up and tried to go to work, and my vehicle had a software update overnight that bricked it… I would sell that car immediately and never buy from that brand again. Wild.
Maybe letting a giant Nazi manbaby, whose only skill is “exploit people,” run anything was a bad idea.
Hey here’s an idea, maybe the three-ton 80 MPH death machine shouldn’t be connected to an internet that pushes updates that can render it inoperable?
I do not want touchscreens in the console of my car that will likely start pushing ads while I am barreling down the highway after reminding me to keep my eyes on the road. I want buttons and dials that do exactly what I want when I push and twist them, or better yet, reliable high speed mass transit, where I do not have to worry about any of that shit.
