Why would a high-end car need regular updates? The only thing it needs to do that isn't guatanteed to not change without physical service is entertainment, and it's a safe bet anyone who can afford one has a smartphone they keep updated. Just make the pocket supercomputer do all the work and use the car as an input/output interface. This problem was solved decades ago on the internet, funnily enough by the same guy who founded this forum. Why is the industry at large so bad at retaining good practice knowledge?

- jerlam 2y agoEventually, the input/output interface between the car and smartphone will also require an update to work correctly. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are only 9 or 10 years old, not quite "new", but approaching the time where companies want to make major, incompatible changes. I do not know if I would take a bet that a user can seamlessly connect CarPlay on their 2014 car with their brand new iPhone 25.
