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).

An unregulated disaster on the road waiting to happen, if I'm reading your comment correctly

Possibly. Possibly not. I’m no expert so I couldn’t even begin to speculate.

I’m just making a statement on the regulation requirements comparison between the auto and aviation industries really.

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.
