And remember that the Cybertruck is steer by wire. The software controls the entire car, and it also happens that the software just randomly crashes.

Thankfully steer-by-wire has been crash tested by the aviation industry...

The aviation industry is also chock full of mandatory servicing requirements[1] that even lead to semi strip downs at regular intervals.

However, once purchased, one is legally allowed to drive a CyberTruck no matter how old or how many issues there are (being licensed and insured etc. aside).

Mid-flight, "Hi, this is the captain. We're terribly sorry, but the plane will now be going into a 5 hour reboot mode. We flew through a rain cloud in the sun. Do not be alarmed when the lights turn off and the engines cease."

I believe almost all modern vehicles are like that.

(drive by wire, not crashing all the time)

The cybertruck doesn't just have drive-by-wire it has steer-by-wire. That's really unusual for cars.

[IsTom]

Not sure it's still like that, but for a very long time EU required that there is a mechanical linkage between steering wheel and actual steering.

Absolutely not, the other current effort is on a few Lexus systems, I don't know its current status. Accelerate by wire, but drive by wire.
