Ferrari is bricked during upgrade due to no mobile reception while underground

The bricking shows that all these “smart” cars with remote software control are liable to hacking (and potentially deadly accidents). We should have a choice to turn them off selectively.

The worst part is that car companies don’t understand software and digital security.

No sympathy. Park at 45* across two spaces, even astride smaller motorcycle-sized spots, and you have lost all rights to complain about anything.

How do you know the person in question isn't renting both spots? And unfortunately renting two spots is often a requirement in Europe for example because the lot sizes tend to be so small that it is impossible to park with a wide car otherwise.

Those are full-sized spots. People with oversized vehicles and who rent spots normally park astrive the line, not across at 45. That is done by someone who doesn't want anyone near his car. And even if this guy has rented two spots, that is still being a jerk to all the other people who want to rent/use spots.

Do that around my town and you will find motorcycles parked in the triangles you have left behind. I saw a porsche guy call the cops about this while at starbucks. The cop, on a motorcycle, decided to believe that the motorcycles had arrived first and that the porsche must have sneaked in between the bikes. The porsche was ticketed.

Presumably, the car is parked in some service spot(s) for a seat install...

I imagine that for a car seat installation, parking at 45 degrees across two spaces is the right way to go. Otherwise you'd need three spaces to do the installation...

It's probably for service, but if they are renting two spots I don't see a problem. When you have a nice car people find a way to always park next to you, even if you are the last spot in lot. People parking next to you is a guarantee of dings, dents and scratches which are going to be 10's of thousands to fix over time in a new Ferrari(). If they were allowed to get two spots, then I assume the lot has enough spots available so it's not an issue.
