If my computer needs a security update, it failing isn't going to get someone killed.

> despite the car being a computer in as much sense of the word as a laptop computer

Your laptop is a 5000 lb vehicle that is regularly going 50-80mph? Because this is probably one of the worst analogies i've heard.

You literally want to treat a car as something other than a car just because you don't like hearing that Tesla had to recall a vehicle.
