In 2020, I published a blog called The cost, quality & speed trade-off in project management and/but without any diagram. In 2021, I published my diagram (below left) in a blog called The oxymoron of government innovation. It seems that my 2023 diagram (below right) was never published (before).

Intro LO: This article suggests that "over-the-air technology upgrades" could occur while driving that car. I sure hope that such "over-the-air technology upgrades" could only happen when a car is not driving. The approval of such "over-the-air technology upgrades" might seem important but I doubt it is.
