The NASA space probes are constantly uploaded with new software that has greatly increased the scope of their mission.

The NASA space probes can’t plow into a minivan with a mom and her 2 kids inside. There’s an entire different risk level here.
What if the update is to address a safety issue?
The manufacturer needs to issue a recall in that case. They can't have their cake and then eat it too. Either the update is not critical and should not be generally available or it is critical and they should inform their users with the proper framing.

If they didn't make "safety" right from the first time, why do you think they will do it better the second time, when the fixes are more expensive and the time pressure is enormous ?
