I sure hope their updates are better tested than Microsoft's.

My wife's 2018 Navigator already does that. It does updates during the night while parked in the garage and connected to the house guest Wifi.

I would think it would be since the hardware is pretty much the same, specific to a certain model etc., where in MS, there are so many different pieces of hardware to deal with, bugs are apparent.
