That sw does not come from Mercedes, they just buy different devices for what they need from suppliers. The salary offered by one such supplier for a graduate engineer was less than what a construction company was offering to hang dry wall (qualified worker). The construction company was raising a new building for the supplier.

That's mostly an irrelevant detail.

Mercedes may not be the OEM in this instance, though they are certainly the vendor, who put their name and reputation to it.

Exactly, the buck stops with Mercedes. It's on Mercedes for not investing in higher quality software for their vehicles.
