These software-defined vehicles need way more work and polish put into them IMO, but to be honest I'd rather these companies just give us something basic, simple, and electric that works reliably.

Toyota did it with the Prius vehicles, particularly the older models, can't be that hard?

Also infotainment systems should absolutely not be sharing core vehicle functionality, particularly if they can't be turned off in the case of this article - only option left to the user is a "deep sleep" that might fix the problem if the vehicle is locked for 5 minutes 🤦‍♂️
