&gt; That being said: OTA update is REALLY FUCKING SCARY for cars. What if someone puts the wrong update in the queue accidentally? (2)<p>OTA update is no more or less scary than any other form of software update, or in fact any other form of mechanical update.<p>Software engineers are generally used to the level of rigour that goes on with their software. If you&#x27;re a web devloper shipping a commerce application there&#x27;s an appropriate level of testing and process, because there&#x27;s only a certian level of reliability you need to hit, and spending more money on that would slow down your development. The way you go about delivering software for medical devices for instance (which we do), is a completely different process with a whole different level of rigour, testing and documentation. Because that&#x27;s appropriate in that environment.<p>There&#x27;s a whole lot more documentation and thought that goes into the beam that stops the top of your house from falling down, than goes into the beam that stops your garden shed from falling down. It&#x27;s no different than software.
