Why should this be treated differently than any non-software bug that causes death? I am not aware of any car manufactures that send mechanics to your home to replace your airbags without your consent.
- caf 4y agoIf you ignored the Takata airbag recall for long enough, your car was forcibly deregistered. I know this, because my car was stolen but was on their list, so I saw the escalating series of advisories that was mailed out.
- itake 4y ago> I am not aware of any car manufactures that send mechanics to your home to replace your airbags without your consent. Not exactly a fair comparison. Mechanics coming to your home isn't economical and would require gov policy (and subsidy) to enforce. I think a better comparison is if the gov acts a policy such that "all new cars much have {update}." As the old vehicles breakdown, everyone is forced to have the new update. This is a slower process, but has the same end as an OTA update.
