Until this year, my Hyundai let me install updates while driving. Apparently the nhtsa or someone made them stop because they weren't meeting the standard of being able to activate the backup cam within 2 seconds

I quite like the new Hyundais, but, knowing the horrific state the Korean software industry is in, and the general horrific mentality around software in Korea, I cannot help but wonder how that impacts the quality, longevity and user experience of their cars.
How has your experience been?
I've had my car for 2 years and I still love it, although a bit early to discuss longevity.
There are some minor annoyances with the software, but their infotainment system is better than most. I was surprised when I test drove some other brands and the UIs in NEW cars were visibly dropping frames.
The only bummer is that they're more oldschool than brands like Tesla/Rivian when it comes to software updates. When a new generation of the vehicle comes out, older cars don't get feature parity with the new software, just maintenance updates. There's a few inexplicable bugs that have never been fixed in my car and most likely never will. None of them are show stoppers, just irritating.
Thank you for your reply and feedback!
