why reliable matters more than you realize

I am a huge fan of OTA (over-the-air) updates. Considering the updates from MSFT, Google, Apple, etc, OTA is amazing. But, in cars, you only sometimes notice that the company is updating your car. Well, until you get a huge change. We have the Mercedes EV (The EQB 350). It is an SUV and electric. Like the one in our Mercedes EV, OTA car updates bring significant benefits. They can improve the vehicle’s performance, safety, and user experience, making driving more efficient and enjoyable.

Artificial-IntelligenceThey did an OTA update while it was in the shop (minor management). This update was a complete redo of the car’s digital screen, and I was blown away. They made the information easier to consume on the screens by redesigning the layout and font size. Plus, they surfaced information that was there before, but you had to do a big. For example, they now display the current speed limit on the screen, which is incredibly helpful.

Now, this is critical for the future. Understanding the concept of ‘liable networks’ is important when over-the-air updates become critical components. It’s not just about coverage. Coverage means you can receive a signal from the carrier under perfect conditions, without obstacles between you and the tower. However, receiving a signal is only the first step. ‘Reliable networks, ‘on the other hand, ensure that this signal is consistently strong and stable, even in less-than-ideal conditions. This is crucial for successfully implementing OTA updates in cars.

It’s why there are no 10g networks. It is advertising, and frankly, it is, at best, dishonest. 10g is beyond 6g, and 6g to date is not a standard. So, like coverage maps, I can do anything. The reality is how reliable the signal is once you’ve locked on (receiving a signal and locking on are two different steps for success).

In the age of hype, what you say matters.
