> With the botched 2023.42 update Rivian explained that they pushed the wrong build with the wrong certificates to customer vehicles. This made me immediately think they probably don’t have a canary fleet of vehicles that they roll out to first.

Sounds to me like they certainly could have a canary fleet, but if they do, they didn’t have sufficient process controls to only allow updates to the public after having gone through canary testing.

Repeating what you said in my own words to ensure I understand it.

I think you're suggesting they might have a canary fleet, but there wasn't anything/enough that preventing a mistake from bypassing the carry fleet before going to production?

Could be!

Exactly.
