OTA “recall.” Sucks that there was a bug like this, but the headlines try to make these out to be bigger than they are.

Physical or otherwise “bring to the dealer” recalls are bigger news because direct owner action needs to be done, often meaning their car is unavailable for some period of time. OTA just means people will drive their car like normal and it’ll be passively fixed, which is hardly news-worthy.

I agree, and what I said is not trying to exonerate the car companies but is pointing out the rage-bait of the news media.

“Volvo recalls ALL…” (emphasis mine), is meant to incite worry and or rage, while something like this would be truer to the details and relevance to consumers: “Volvo software bug may obscure speedometer. X number of model affected/reported. OTA fix released.”

“The ability to disable the…feature during the setup process…” does not mean opt in, that means opt out.

Knowing windows setup, you need to click customize during the setup process and then go through several setup pages before you’re presented this option (or have to dig into additional/advanced settings to find it).

Most people won’t do this, won’t know how to do this, or will receive the pc with the initial setup complete and won’t know if this is on or off.

The screenshot doesn’t show preceding flow to reach it, but I did miss the “requires windows hello to enable” bit, which does suggest that wherever it is, it would have to be opt-in.

Take Tesla for whatever you will, but there’s crazy conflict of interest behind the dawn project/Dan o’dowd attacking this.

“Green Hills also develops automotive software—it's about 40 percent of the company's business, O'Dowd said—and is a software supplier for the 2022 BMW iX EV crossover. This has caused O'Dowd critics and Tesla fans to call out The Dawn Project's conflict of interest and question the organization's motives.”
