Oh yeah don’t stop.
Comment on Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge
nbailey@lemmy.ca 6 months agoIn my opinion it points to a more dangerous thing, “continuous delivery” software mindset seeping into safety critical systems.
It’s fine, good even, that web developers can push updates to “prod” in minutes. But imagine if some dork could push largely untested control system updates to your car’s ECU… it’s one thing for a website site to get a couple errors, but it’s a very bad thing if it makes your steering wheel stop working.
Unfinished products make more money, and it’s high time a consumer protection law clamped down on this.

I agree I mean how many times in the past couple of years have large sites or services gone down because an update was pushed through. Most recently I can think of teams going down earlier this year.
Should be protocols put into place for cars that need to be followed for a software update.

Protocols are in place. We can argue over wether or not those are good enough, but the car industry is incredibly heavily regulated.
