Software’s place in a mechanical world

[Doubeleive]

Generally speaking, when you have a company that controls the hardware and the software, both tend to work very well together. Apple controls, both hardware, Manufacturing and the software coding and both are designed to work together from the beginning. That's why I say Apple is a good example.

this is true but now we have the government and peoples right to repair and insurance company's, used car dealers, aftermarket company's and whoever else sticking there hand out for access

New OTA "upgrades" sometimes have functionality/non functionality surprises, so there's that. :facepalm

I had some mid-2000 cars, I was amazed at how integrated/invasive the 2020+ models were with software and screens. I was in IT for over 40 years, guess I prefer my cars as mechanical devices with what I know about software, unfortunately, but I also realize I'm not in the target demographic for car company sales.
