Tesla is no longer the largest EV producer

I think even parking brake was failing and recent software update fixed it.

Good grief. I don't care what car company, but if anything should be 100% manual, a simple cable system, it's this.

Computer controlled emergency brake! Insanity!! But sure, manufacturers save a few dollers per car.

Computer goes nuts, can't steer, or accelerator stuck, yeah, sure, same borked code will probably stop the emergency brake from engaging.

This. Is. Insane.

You have no idea how bad it is. I have worked with automobile programming and the pressure from management to put hardware safety feutures in software instead is high.

The "ignition key" doesn't do anything nowadays.

Just you wait until the brake pedals or steering wheel get electronic only.
