Guy made a CVE style disclosure page about all the issues he'd experienced with his EX90. This feels related.

This is the first I'd heard the phrase "software defined vehicle". That's a chilling combination of words to me.

The continual and repeated failures of OEM software are Conway's law in action. It's not that the developers are uniquely incapable of writing software. The constraints of the organization make good software a virtually impossible goal.

Moving to a new board based on the same hardware with dual SoCs might help a few bugs around the edges (though I have my doubts), but it doesn't address more fundamental causes. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm afraid it's going to take another 2008-esque disaster for them to really "get" it.
