They say that it is a software only fix which raises the uncomfortable question of why it was not implemented to read both sensors in the first place. I am still not onboard with the idea that any engineer would make such a decision simply to hide the feature from the regulatory process but it makes one wonder. If so then manslaughter charges are appropriate and I am not kidding, that would be like designing a commercial kitchen without fire suppression because you did not want to involve the fire department in the permit. (And then blaming the cook for starting a fire!)
