    I would compare them to other companies: they’re not going to lightly outshow their own products since that both affects sales and increases the odds of a lawsuit on behalf of everyone who bought the older models under false advertising. It’s more likely to end badly in court if the lawyer can say everyone else in the industry got this right but their clients vehicles will never get the promised features because they lack the necessary hardware.
