And yet again, the same OTA update changed other parameters about the way the car drives that do make it less safe. I don't know why you're trying to ignore that fact. If I drastically improve the braking distance of a car, but in the same update I also make it so that the car crashes itself into a wall and kills you, is the car safer? Hint: no
As for your edit, you clearly misread the original comment, which is why I edited it for you. I said that there was no evidence that the OTA made the car safer. Please try to read with better comprehension instead of trying to misrepresent my comments.
- slg 8y agoI never denied that. Your comment pointed out a problem with OTA updates and I agreed calling it "a clear flaw". I pointed out a benefit of OTA updates then asked an open ended question about how they should be handled. You responded be attacking the example I provided. I was looking to debate this serious issue, not getting into a pissing match about it.
- txcwpalpha 8y agoI never said you denied it, I said you ignored it. If you wanted to debate this serious issue, then maybe you shouldn't keep ignoring one of the crucial cornerstones of the discussion. If you're unwilling to discuss points that challenge your own opinion, then it's clear that you're just trying to push an agenda rather than have an actual discussion.

Hint: no You don't have enough information to come to that conclusion. It's quite common to have to brake hard to avoid a cousin. It's pretty uncommon to see the specific scenario triggering this crash behavior.
