Aren't we currently in a situation where your car software / hardware just doesn't update - ever? Apart from very recent models, I don't know of many systems that are even possible to upgrade. And if they do, they often require payment.

I don't think Android situation is much worse here, even if you were stuck on only one major release.

Newer Fords come with a USB port for firmware updates. I don't remember the system they use (MyTouch? Ford SYNC?) but I remember my brother-in-law mentioning doing a software upgrade on his F-150 before hooking up the trailer to go camping.
