Comment on Tesla issues 5th recall for the new Cybertruck within a year, the latest due to rearview camera
_stranger_@lemmy.world 1 month agoI don’t think y’all understand. Software is never done, it just becomes abandoned. You have been a “tester” for every piece of software you’ve ever used. And that’s a good thing, because the alternative is you get stuck with whatever the first version is. No one wants dead software.

There is a difference between software getting updated and software getting fixed though. We want the first scenario not the second one

Not a lot of options there. You either go with an old pre-computer car or get an open source car (which isn’t really an option).
I’m not talking about the infotainment system, just to be clear. I’m talking about the software that controls the functions of the drive and safety systems. If you want an infotainment system that you have complete control over, I’d suggest putting an open source tablet on your dash

Sadly, it looks like most of the FOSS car infotainment projects died a few years ago.

Dude I think you have replied to the wrong comment

Nope. If you want control over what’s getting done to your software, you’ve got to take ownership of it, or you might get changes in your fixes you’re not happy with.
