Even iPhones and windows let you schedule update times. Just the fact that a freaking MOVING MACHINE doesn’t is egregious on itself. Imagine if stellantis would manufacture industrial equipment or nuclear reactors!
I wonder how many OTA updates for cars could be left as a task for the mechanic, the way airplane updates are.
Airplanes are required by regulation to have a backup of all software to operate the plane, presumably so that a plane can’t get stranded by an emergency landing requiring system resets. What we built replaced a physical folder full of floppies or CDROMs taking up space in the cockpit. Some of my coworkers insisted it was for weight but I’m absolutely sure that pizza box server weighed more than the book.
