Require canaries of substantially significant changes through regulatory mechanisms and approval. Regulators should get access to the same telemetry the manufacturer has.

>substantially significant changes

any change is significant, even the smallest, not just due to the possible bugs, but also because of the potential risks/side effects that can occur during the update + patching process of the car. regulation will need to have automated driving go back to waterfall style deployments that get applied by a licensed mechanic.

until such regulation is in place, i recommend not driving during the last/first weeks of Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4, as dev teams will be rushing OTA patches in order to complete their projects.
