> Many advanced driving assistance capabilities need access to updated map tiles

Your phone (or GPS or even a paper map) can guide you; none of the following need access to map tiles:

* forward collision warning

* automatic emergency braking

* lane departure warning

* adaptive cruise control

* blind spot detection

* stability control

> code updates to fix errors or shortcomings

That's what recalls and TSBs have traditionally been for, and the driver can refuse them if desired. I mean, actual lives are at stake here. Would we (or should we) allow 737's to get OTA updates? Of course not. The target is too valuable and surface area too vast to adequately protect it.
