Anyone who builds software that runs on actual hardware should know that you NEVER deploy builds that haven’t been fully exercised on actual hardware.
This tells me that their software QC process is non-existent at best and actually malignant at worst.
If their software is supposed to be their defining feature this is the equivalent of McDonald’s “accidentally” shipping frozen discs of literal shit instead of burger patties to franchises who then serve them to customers without question.
If their company dies because of this (it fucking should imo) they 100% deserve it for the countless unknown dangers they’ve exposed their customers to. It’s not this particular thing, bricking the infotainment system, it’s the demonstration that they have no or bad process.
