I don’t think it calls home about that. It just looks if there are any „incompatible“ applications installed and blocks the update if it finds any. I guess the goal is to not break anything.

Your and my definition of utter garbage differ wildly.
Are they late sometimes? yes. Do some trains end up being cancelled? Also yes.
But the same applies for cars. And even more so. I can not count the times where I have been late by over an hour when driving by car. With the trains is has been much less.
Waymo is a company that develops self driving cars (well, not the cars, but the technology). They are focusing on robo-taxis. So like Uber without a driver.
Ok sure, but at that point consumer hardware will not be able to do that. Try finding a consumer router capable of more than 2.5gbit, let alone more than 10.
It’s basically the same as updating the iPhone over usb. There has not been a chance to have the iPhone run a modified iOS update in over 10 years now iirc.
To be honest, it is not made to diagnose medical scans and it is not supposed to be. There are different AIs trained exactly for that purpose, and they are usually not public.
