- ibfreeekout 1y agoYes but it's fairly recent that cars are receiving software updates on their own. Usually if there was an update, it would be from a recall that would necessitate going to a dealer to apply the changes, not something that is auto-downloaded and applied without the owner's awareness.
- dabockster 1y agoAnd even then, the car is at a dealer and not your garage or some random shop. So it can potentially make the OEM liable if the update goes sideways.
