Honestly, I want to think that this is kind of a milestone in their project to bring OTA software delivery at scale, one that has taken many dev hours to pull through. If successful, I hope they move quickly to scaling the effort even further.
Once that's done, I truly hope they're planning to re-align their dev resources to start bringing actual innovation to market, and not just patches and mimicky software.
For BMW, getting to this stage has probably meant a lot of organizational changes and investing a lot of resources, so I wanna give them the benefit of the doubt and hope they'll be innovating faster moving forward.
