Fair enough. There are pretty pedantic processes to qualify automotive software, but these are obviously not perfect and bad quality software may still be deployed to the cars.
However, I would not throw OEMs like Tesla and others into the same category regarding Software quality.

I feel like Tesla especially is one that’s subject to this criticism.
I think they also live after the mantra “move fast and break things”, in cars that literally means breaking bones.
The idea that Tesla has that mindset in production and not just the design process is really funny to me
