Again, WHY in the actual FUCK does a car need software updates?
Apart from maybe a stereo software? Infotainment? Make a good powertrain and leave it alone. Absolute insanity.
This was an update to the entertainment system that somehow had the side effect of disabling the power train while driving. You'd think these would be two entirely separate computer systems, but they must be sharing something.
