@eliasp Or even running two OS'es side by side, so the other can take over if one fails for whatever reason. If NASA can do this on Mars rovers twenty years ago, I'm sure it's not too much of an ask now.

@collectifission @eliasp Even cheap motherboards for computer desktops have two bios chips in case the main one gets damaged or corrupted during a bios update. Imagine spending a $20k or more for a car that gets broken because the manufacturer couldn't spare a few cents on a backup ROM.

@ElTico @collectifission @eliasp That's not always true. Only some motherboards have that feature of dual BIOS. In fact, its how I got my current motherboard for my PC for £20. It was 'faulty' no boot, and couldn't get into the BIOS, and didn't have the flash from usb drive feature either. I used an EPROM programmer to reflash the chip, and it booted right up. no dual BIOS to save the day.
Still, your point is valid, car should have multiple fail safe from broken updates.
