It's crazy to me that we use the word "recall" to mean "mandatory software update". I have no problem with NHTSA (or whatever) requiring car companies to do updates for faulty software, but the word "recall" is completely inappropriate for this process. A recall should mean that I have to drive it to the dealership to fix/replace some defective hardware component. If I don't even know it happens because the car downloaded a software update overnight, it's not a fucking recall.
