This update was for the infotainment system. To your point, that system should somehow be air-gapped from affecting the engine and power. There's way too much coupling of all this software and electrical components.
- cosmicgadget 1y agoUh how would you change vehicle performance settings?
- jimmaswell 1y agoconnect to the OBD2 port or something? there are lots of alternatives
- cosmicgadget 1y agoA diagnostic port for a Jeep to switch from city to offroad? Or power mode to econ?
- noisem4ker 1y agoFor the sake of answering you: through dedicated physical switches (such as Ferrari's famous manettino). What I really think: my car shouldn't have any bullshit "modes" to select from. Tune it once at the factory to some reasonable compromise, and perhaps make certain settings writable through the OBD port, and that will be it.
- cosmicgadget 1y agoI suppose you could have independent, air-gapped cockpit drive control systems and infotainment systems. It's probably less ecomomical and automatic e911 would be harder to do. At a bare minimum any EV driver is going to want two power delivery modes. Jeep people surely don't want to plug in an OBD dongle when they go off road.
