If the airbags have a problem which causes them to hurt shrapnel into peoples faces you can't fix that with a software update.

and why is being able to push updates to heavy machinery that we routinely have moving at speeds of 60+ MPH a good thing?

If you can fix the brakes via software update you can break them too.

I'm fine with it if someone going to prison when a software update kills people.

The alternative is having to take your vehicle in to get the brakes fixed.
