A data science expert explains how ‘over-the-air’ updates will change the auto industry
A growing number of vehicular issues are resolved without any help from a mechanic.
Whenever automakers discover that a vehicle has a defect or does not comply with U.S. laws, they must notify the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and mail a notice to each customer who owns or leases the affected vehicles. Automakers must also recall those cars, trucks or SUVs–which means they have to fix the defect across the entire fleet.
