The process described allows for updating a vehicle’s software over the air, similar to how smartphones receive operating system updates. Following the initiation of such an upgrade, a driver or registered user of the vehicle is informed of the impending installation. This notification serves as a signal that the vehicle is preparing to receive enhanced features, performance improvements, or security patches.
This capability provides several advantages. It eliminates the need for a physical visit to a service center for software-related updates, saving time and increasing convenience for the owner. Furthermore, it ensures that the vehicle remains up-to-date with the latest software, enhancing performance, adding new functionalities, and addressing potential security vulnerabilities. The concept of over-the-air updates has evolved from simple infotainment system enhancements to complex powertrain and safety system adjustments.
