Versus buying a dumb car and never getting upgrades?
I'll take the "risk" to get sentry/dog/camping mode as free updates vs having to buy a new car every time I want a new feature.

Next day in the morning I tried to start it up and it actually worked again. The display just shortly displayed 'update complete'. Made me laugh. I believe the error was related to the battery being low while it was really cold outside and the update notification was unrelated. But I guess you could call that "camping mode".
Still left me with an appreciation for my old car, which is too old and stupid to receive updates and is really dependable without me treating it that well.
Funny anecdote but imagine someone with mobility issues getting stuck in the same situation.
My car is so dumb that it doesn't brick itself when I change the suspension or put a bigger turbo on it. Though it might send a piston into orbit.
You don't need to be nannied by your car.
Further, it takes a naive level of trust to be okay with an "essential", non-subscription item depending on the benevolent existence of a 3rd party. Be it vehicles, machinery, firearms, combine harvesters or front door lock.
The chance of winning camping mode is not worth the risk of losing autopilot, for most people.
