    This might be “unpopular opinion” territory - but I kinda like that my car is better now than it was when I bought it. 🙃

    (Due to over the air updates.)

      Same as with computer games - stop releasing half-finished crap. You cede ownership and/or use of your car when they control functionality.

      Depends on your definition of “better”.

      Lots of OTA updates remove features only to replace tem with something less user friendly.

      I’m sure the manufacturers love all the new data they can collect on you every update

      You might want to be a bit quiet about that they might find out they accidentally made a good car with consumer friendly updates

      I do agree it’s nice that a car can get better over time and fixes for issues over updates but just like other tech this will bring problems with long term support and features being removed/ pay walled by greedy manufacturers.
