    You do not know or believe how much shit has to be pipelined to get a simple change on a car design going on the market. If you have knowledge about computers, you quickly notice that the hardware and software running in a car are OLD. I’ve seen cars sold as new with processors so old, they are “no longer recommended for new designs”. This is because every single thing has to be tested and approved to death in a car. Sometimes several times over.

      This is tesla though, how much testing do they actually do before passing it to customers for free QA?

        The part that the law demands has probably been tested. But I think the US is less stringent with that than our EU.
