Easy-peasy QotD. Sherpa with the optional trailer.

Well, nothing in the OP’s or my posts mentioned s/w updates. Although, yes, that was Rory’s central theme.

Most of us are already driving s/w in one form or fashion. S/W controls driver aids. As more cars migrate to steer-/brake-by-wire, that is driven by s/w.
