Because it's a main source of active power that can be re-directed.

A battery on an EV can be too, in which case the main contactor should be verified disconnected prior to any software update. But typically people don't refer to that as the 'engine'.

So prime mover encompasses engines and main batteries.

It's a safety issue.

Crazy inexplicable things can happen when modern cars have electrical control access to brakes/steering/throttle.

Firmware doesn't take right, download message emulates by accident another message, random bit flipping that even CRC checks miss.

There's no reason to risk any of that. Just shut the engine off.

WTF,

I don't care if it's just the infotainment system.

Engine (prime mover) should be off for any update on any vehicle.

It wasn't necessarily 'bad', but I think they could have done better with Ender's Game.

yeah, wait till these rich start with the life extension meds that push them twice past the life span of every other normal

They are still around, and much more advanced than the old flash games.

Do we need negative energy?

Don't particles appear out of thin are and then collide again and disappear?

0 = E = -mc² + mc²

You can have negative mass without requiring negative energy.

If an anti-gravity particle does exist (that expels both normal mass and itself), it would be incredibly hard to find.

They would push away from each other and disperse outside of the solar system.
Like 1 particle per 1000sq km kind of thing.

Which would push all the galaxies away from each other, always accelerating away from each other, but in a decreasing fashion....

It would also press inward on galaxies making it look like mass on the outer rims of galaxies having more gravity than they should.

And there would be a SHIT ton of this matter, that would be dark because it's so spread out,

..wait a minute ..

Technology works, has for many years.

Even I've gotten the OCZ NIA to work and control my character's movement in a video game
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_Impulse_Actuator

The issue is a medical one.

Where I could spend a few hours(training) to get the NIA to work, it all goes out the window the moment you move it or take it off.

So the solution is to permanently implant the electrodes into the brain. (Even on the scalp will move over time, so that's not an option)

But the issue with implants is infection and scar tissue formation.

They haven't been able to solve the infection and scar tissue problem all these years, and Musk isnt' doing any better with it. Even with nano wires.

Even Valve has been working on Brain-Computer interface for years.

IMO, they should give up on the permanent fixation, and look for some kind of reference point, and do a antenna re-alignment that can be calibrated every time you put it on.

This is exactly what 'Public Disturbance" charge is for.

Why are they not being charged with it?

You can see where OP printed those long ones in two halfs and then glued them.
