>a massive engineering fail It's not the infotainment part that causes the failure, though. It's the firmware flash chip which happens to be in the same board as the infotainment array. It's not like the radio breaking would cause the car to stop working. Again, this is more akin to the transmission going out. It's just easy to make this sound like an engineering failure because of that. It's similar to saying that the new Google Pixel has a "massive engineering failure" because the "Ok, Google" voice assistant breaks. It's disingenuous to say that because all that happens on the security module. You wouldn't want someone to have access to your phone if the security module breaks but, if that breaks, it also breaks the voice assistant functionality. This phrasing makes it sound like a fault in the voice assistant can block access to the entire phone which is intentionally misleading.
