The other day an auto glass guy was complaining to me about how new windshields increasingly have embedded electronics that require firmware updates before installation.
WHY???
Mainly he considered it a hassle because he had to take the glass to the dealership to get it programmed before installing it.
#168 I guess to drive up repair costs, more profit for them.
