Opposed to manufacturers still doing updates over USB hell who take years to patch vulnerabilities. Why the NTSB doesn't demand source code is beyond me.

- sschueller 8y agoThere is nothing wrong with being required to take you car in to get an update for something that need to pass certain safety standards. Do you want OTA updates from Boeing or Airbus? From what I have read on another post on HN, Waymo specifically does not have the ability to do OTA updates although the car is connected all the time.

- greglindahl 8y agoThe more difficult an update is, the fewer cars get it. Many people unknowingly buy used cars that have outstanding maintenance notes and recalls.
- sschueller 8y agoIsn't that what state vehicle inspections are for? If you don't have the latest safety update you should not pass the inspection and not be able to continue to drive until you get the update.
- greglindahl 8y agoI don't know about your state, but in California, they have absolutely no fucking clue about whether your car has outstanding recalls or maintenance notes, all they check is smog. If your car isn't electric, and is sufficiently old. Back when I lived in South Carolina, they'd check that the blinkers and brake lights were working. Not in California.
