Really need a new term for just OTA updates with more and more software being rolled out into cars. The title makes it sound way worse than it actually is.
It is the same thing as taking the car to the dealership to have them install the update, but without the drive. They still had to implement a fix, even if it was remote.
I’m willing to bet the adoption rate of ota recalls is way higher since you don’t have to a) be informed of the recall and b) go anywhere or do anything to get it, and c) dont have to hassle with cinvincing a dealership to give you a rental if the recall work takes a long time.
Fascinating that a recall can mean a mandated OTA update. Seems like that means that there’s really no onus to ensure everybody gets these updates.

It is literally the same thing.
