The vehicles are drivable but software and displays go black. It appears that the 2023.42 software update hangs at 90% on the vehicle screen or 50% on the app screen and then the vehicle screens black out. All systems appear to still work except for the displays.
This is what I do with my Prius to get a comfortably distraction-free driving environment. Sounds like a feature not a bug.

Tesla was forced to issue a recall notice over the controls being buried in a menu; Rivian’s ”defroster unavailable during driving due to manufacturer error” is far worse — especially given the mass and torque of their vehicles, relative to unarmored road users.
