lol nope.

Car manufacturers are trying to act like they are software companies but fall short in every way of the most basic aftersale services such as patches and self service troubleshooting help.

Except Tesla they are a lot closer to the internet of things companies... where after a product falls outside of warranty period it is forgotten and made obsolete.

Those new cars are connected to the internet... will BMW really develop software patches to protect against hackers and viruses for the next 25 years ?
