## Narrative
I drove my car for 22 miles, parked, and after less than one hour we heard a loud noise from the house and upon checking, we noticed the car was on fire. The fire and smoke was coming from underneath the hood (left side). The car had recent software update and the collision detection and traction control were turned-off and unable to turn it back on. Not sure if the software update had anything to do with it, but thought it would be good to mention that. The fire department came out and said it may have been electrical.
