Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think many cars on the market are able to receive over-the-air updates to their systems. I think that's what the parent was talking about specifically.

All of the cars I've driven have been accessible by ODB2 or something similar, which is a physical connection under the hood and/or steering column.




In addition to OnStar already mentioned, some Audi can over wifi/cell. Also the OEMs that use Tegra have this capability though I know of none that have enabled any OTA updates over wifi. Hyundai/Kia had beta hardware that did it over BT a year ago.


Anything powered by OnStar can (GM's entire line).


Wanted to add (can't edit my post for some reason):

Since 2010, OnStar has offered OTA updates.
