Haven't cars been substantially computer controlled for decades? Electronic fuel injection has been common since at least the'90s.

Yes but it's fairly recent that cars are receiving software updates on their own. Usually if there was an update, it would be from a recall that would necessitate going to a dealer to apply the changes, not something that is auto-downloaded and applied without the owner's awareness.
And even then, the car is at a dealer and not your garage or some random shop. So it can potentially make the OEM liable if the update goes sideways.
