Tesla has pretty clearly led the way on some of this stuff, they’ve been doing unattended OTA software updates and remotely-revokable paid add-on features for years. Other manufacturers do not have more auditable firmware, but they are behind in how much control they have of their vehicles once they’re in a customer’s hands.

- macNchz 4y agoThere’s a bunch of anecdotal reports of forced updates being applied when owners have been holding back for a long time: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-forced-an-update-of-my-p85d-to-2019-16-2.154406/ https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-forced-an-upda... https://mobile.twitter.com/greentheonly/status/1222613978427404290 https://mobile.twitter.com/greentheonly/status/1222613978427... I’d also consider remote feature removal a form of unattended update–the first of which really made the news a pretty long time ago when they disabled autopilot on all Tesla’s in Hong Kong.
