Fisker bankruptcy hits major speed bump as fleet sale is now in question | TechCrunch (techcrunch.com)

The buyer, a New York-area leasing company called American Lease, says in a new filing that Fisker now believes there is no way to transfer the information connected to each SUV to a new server not owned by the bankrupt EV startup. Since American Lease needs that information to operate the vehicles after Fisker is dissolved, the leasing company has filed an emergency objection to the startup’s liquidation plan.

Yes that's a nice thing to fix a problem with a software update. But isn't it funny how the possibility of updating after purchase seems to mean that products ship without really being well tested. If there's no possibility of fixing problems once something is in the field, then you make damn sure it works before it goes out the door.

Well, OTA update may be a bad idea. USB Key is good enough for anything and don't rely to a server. For your radio problem, it would solve it.
