At the very least, I want the agency to keep a hold on the update for $N days.

That way, I am more convinced that the software engineers of the car manufacturer won't push any quick fixes that might cause bigger problems later.

In the case of urgent problems, the correct response is to ground the fleet. This will cost the manufacturer money, but I'm a software engineer for long enough to know that a quick fix won't be a safer solution.

What is the difference between this and "No Deploy Fridays"?
