Abstract
A system includes a first storage, a second storage, and a vehicle electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU is programmed to download a software update received from a server to the first storage, at keyoff, attempt a reboot of the ECU before vehicle shutdown, and confirm the first storage as being active for booting instead of the second storage, responsive to the vehicle ECU successfully booting to the first storage.
