what changes in conditions would make a previously stable car unstable? Genuinely curious. Because I'd assume software patches tend to exist solely to make incremental improvements, not fix glaring issues - if there were any I'm sure regulation would mandate that they get patched no matter how old the model.
- londons_explore 3y agoWhen someone finds a huge security hole (eg "blast this signal over high power bluetooth and you can make all Xiaomi cars within 1 mile immediately go to full throttle and crash!"). Or when a server the car uses gets shut down, and suddenly basic operations like opening the doors can't be done because it turns out the car's OS pings that server before letting any door open.
