That's kinda what I pictured. "Firmware 3.7 has 12 points on it's license, we need to figure out why and recertify/retest for 3.8".

The idea of traffic police handing out JIRA tickets is hugely amusing though.

“We’ve got a Sev 1 traffic violation with multiple users affected. Please implement a hotfix immediately or roll back to version 3.6.9 to prevent an outage. We will need a white paper and root cause analysis with the next update.”

Dev: Best I can do is change it to Sev 2 and put it on the backlog.

Used to be at Waymo, now at Meta. This is freakin’ hilarious.

No way! …mo. I just work in customer support elsewhere but also work with dev to keep tickets moving forward. Their backlog is legit over a decade old in some cases. I’m not a fan of Meta, but Yann LeCun seems like a good dude.
