West Virginia Bill Aims to Ban Over-the-Air Updates, Direct Car Sales The bill states any fixes or updates to a car must be applied through the dealership, not directly by the automaker. I don't live in WV but this kind of legislation could be a slippery slope setting precedent for other states...

For the Apple fans in the house, I ran across this on IG today and couldn't remember seeing it shared here so thought you guys might be interested. Unfortunately this only speaks to the UI and not the codecs employed.
