There is only one car company on the planet that I would trust currently to buy a car that has a lot of software in it. This company is Tesla Motors. This is because Tesla understand software as part of their DNA.

So if Whirlpool really understood software they would understand that one of the challenges with software is that with great power comes great responsibility. Software makes it easier to make richer more functional products, but it also means you can ship software with more bugs.

Now an oven is a relatively harmless device to have a software glitch in. But what about a car? Currently there is only one company on the planet that I would have a reasonable level of trust to manage the software in my car.
This company is Tesla Motors. This is because Tesla understand software as part of their DNA and they have thought about how to upgrade their software.
