Well, there's one small victory hidden in the article: > Over-the-air software updates would be possible for the steering system. However, such remote updates are not currently allowed by legislation. Based on the wording, I wonder if that means "it is illegal for the steering system to have a network connection" or if it means "it's possible to OTA update the steering system, but it would be illegal for an OTA update to do so". After all, as the old adage goes: "If you ban software updates, then only criminals will be able to update software." Similarly: "Patches don't kill people. Catastrophic boot loops at speed do.", or: "You can pry my auto-updating steering wheel out of my cold dead hands". Has anyone here ever owned a car that didn't have at least one safety recall due to the CAM bus protocol being terrible? Are they running steering over CAM or some bespoke (and probably somehow worse) thing?
