Yeah, but reflashing a motherboard is far less dangerous than reflashing a $30,000 car. Your computer couldn’t kill someone if something fails. As much as I hate this image and wished repair instructions were made public, this may be the wisest move from a liability perspective.

If having an onboard computer makes it that dangerous, it shouldn't be on the road at all!
