I think you're misunderstanding the question. > if you are going to legitimately argue that shaving 20 feet off of braking distance will not make a car any safer. Nobody is arguing that. We're arguing that there is no evidence the Tesla OTA update made the cars safer on net. You're trying to set up some sort of "OTA updates are dangerous in general, but this one is clearly good, how do we balance it" conversation, but the problem is, this OTA update is not clearly good. OTA updates are dangerous in general, and also in this case in specific. You need to find a better example where there's actual difficult tradeoffs being made, and not just a manufacturer mishandling things.
