If you buy a car for which software has to be downloaded for it to work, you'll have to live with Windows standards in terms of reliability.. at least that is my experience. These cars they are now making that probably have ten times more software and electronics than your average space shuttle in the 60's, they are full of problems. In Swedish, these are called "children's diseases", refering to those illnesses that your mother almost tried to infect you with so that you would not have to suffer them as an adult and once you've had them, they are gone for ever. Personally, I'd expect these truly hi-tech cars to work perfectly in ten to fifteen years... mind you, they keep sticking more and more electronics in them so who knows. Sorry if you feel that I am stealing your thread for a bit of a rant, my answer to your question is no.
