Many of the benefits that you list are for manufacturers, not consumers.

My 1990s car has an ECU that only has one job, and runs fully-characterized code. I'd trust it to run another 25 years with no problems, firmware updates, or security patches.

I do not trust something running a full-fledged OS to drive something safety-critical; I cannot imagine that the whole system is fully vetted, and I don't want bugs in the chip that is in charge of my engine.

And now they're planning to run ML algorithms on the ECU to use all the extra compute that they never needed in the first place? That sounds like an absolute nightmare.

Based on what you've written, I am very glad that I'll probably never buy a new ICE car ever again.
