My favorite one is this.
I think there was only one that suggests pressing the lock door button. But apparently that’s not a universal feature because most of the suggestions tell him to press a button on the touch screen console
She wasn't "locked" in her car. She had every opportunity to use the door's emergency release to exit the car, but she chose not to because she was afraid of the possibility of damaging the car (and so that she could film a TikTok.)
It is however a design error that the car doesn't require all occupants to exit the vehicle before starting the update.

It shouldn't even force people to go outside, the entire door/locking firmware should be running on a separate microcontroller and entirely independant from the state of the main computer. An actual firmware update of a microcontroller takes a 1-2 minutes at most and should be done when the user is least likely to use the car (e.g. midnight). This is such absolute garbage engineering it is unbelievable.
Imagine your baby is in the car and you are trapped outside in Arizona summer because the car's operating system just shit the bed. I am an engineer and and I always design for the absolute worst case scenario within the system's paremeters. This takes time and money and it makes me furious that these SV companies just pump out crap that can and will affect real people beyond a buggy app. This isn't a fucking party planner app update.
Which also leads people to distrust technologies that could otherwise be pretty good and useful.
Oh damn that's another layer to the story I didn't know (also sorry for late reply I didn't gwt the notification that you'd responded to my comment)
or maybe don't have software updates on a car.
