I know what a pathetic job car companies do with computer security so I'm not optimistic they give QA enough attention either... and therefore not as eager as I should be to trade up from my aging-but-predictable current model.

But considering how many mercedes test cars I see ( living in Stuttgart ) every day, it seems they are taking QA really, really serious.
I would expect a lot of it to be purchased (and then suitably integrated/branded, of course) products from automotive safety technology developers such as Autoliv (http://www.autoliv.com/ProductsAndInnovations/Pages/default....).
That should mean that the QA is not solely done by whoever puts the tech in a car, but first by the dedicated technology development company, which feels nice.
