Rivian says “fat finger” caused software update to brick infotainment systems, physical servicing may be required::Today’s cars are more like computers on wheels, and even a seemingly routine software update can lead to unexpected consequences. Rivian unfortunately experienced a “fat finger” mishap with their latest software update, bricking infotainment systems […]
Congrats on having a nicer experience 2 out of the 365 days in a year. Bravo.
Ok man what if it’s an emergency. Here’s an example: My wife is in labour, but my car has to update so I can’t drive her to the hospital. Now I’ll have to pay a more than 2 grand ambulance ride since it was out of network.
Fortunately, you can still do that with a Rivian. From the article that no one read:
At least there’s a speedometer on a separate display.
On the Tesla Model Y there’s only one centre display for everything. I was on a road trip with someone in one and the display froze then automatically rebooted itself. Took a good 5 minutes.
Nothing happened thankfully and the car kept running, but it’s a scary experience when you’re driving 65-70 MPH on a highway. I was worried the car would refuse to continue driving and lock itself or something while it rebooted.
That’s not really a problem outside of USA.
hahah nothing says america like absolutely obscene healthcare costs… cept maybe all the human killing devices they love so very very much
Considering I have a decent chance of getting a “Please wait – updating” message when trying to play a damn videogame nowadays, that’s not out of the realm of possibility.
You are inconsistent. If you are going to adopt a luddite way of life, have her deliver at home not at the fancy high tech hospital where the computerized anesthesia machine might need to update before the c section incision is made.
If you were going to drive you’d get a taxi instead. I agree but just saying.
most taxis won’t cover medical emergencies
That’s fucked up.
