That's also a valid possibility. Not a big fan of the idea of an ECU or similar getting an OTA, but I guess it's better than doing a recall if there's an issue? Not that my 1990 or 2010 vehicles ever needed something updated in them.
I hate the future of vehicles. I don't believe that the infotainment system should ever be connected to important vehicle functions.
I agree totally. Ideally the car should be fully functional with barely any complex software like most cars before 2010. The only case where a failing software update should be able to brick your car is when it's fixing a low level OS bug that renders the car unsafe to drive without the update.
