      …when did I say anything about hardware bugs??? A car having wiring problems is tangible, and easily solved by myself or my mechanic.

      But break lights (something that is literally needs to respond to physical pressure and requires no software to operate) not working because of lines of code, and can only be solved by whether or not a car manufacturer can be assed to fix it, is kind of wack.

        Actually the brake lights work exactly as you describe.

        The problem is that the car is able to slow down quickly without applying the brakes (common with EVs) and doesn’t engage the brake light when driving with that behavior (one pedal mode)

        It isn’t actually required to engage the brake light, because the regulation states that the light needs to be illuminated when applying the physical brakes, not when slowing down.

        This isn’t a software bug, it’s a design oversight, which can be fixed by changing the design, something that used to require a recall and physical change to the car.

          Bro you really think someone is a professional mechanic because they can fix their own car wiring or change their oil? Should I open a car repair shop because I replaced the stereo in my car by myself?

          This is you rn.
