That's an opinion and that's fine, but I was wondering if it was the case, i.e., they are dependent on software.
> This is the case in most modern cars
By `this' you mean "basic steering and braking functionality depending on upgradable software", right?

Yeah, sorry, this is definitely an opinion and I don't think I actually agree with that in general. I meant that in the case of a Tesla or many modern cars with autonomous emergency braking or lane-drift avoidance or similar, braking and/or steering is generally software-controlled, often without a mechanical default, so given features like Autopilot it "should" be software-dependent. > By `this' you mean "basic steering and braking functionality depending on upgradable software", right? Yes, but just to reiterate, most manufacturers don't use OTAs and some models never receive an update, but it's not uncommon for an update to change steering and/or braking response and feel.
