Driver assisst function for cruise control/autosteer failed/malfunctioned.  Applied Emergency braking systems while autosteer/driver control active.  Multiple times on freeway.

Never received update and safety issues resolved via OTA are already being exposed and they are not allowed to do anything to prevent any damage or loss to the vehicle.  Wifi at all government EV charging stations is a basic requirement.
