And those are definitely running on some slow CPUs as compared to all the other devices we have in our lives. So it should be possible in our cars, too!

I'm so confused -- I believe @msnow is talking about the Navigon software running on our cars. So what's the "these" you're referring to?And those are definitely running on some slow CPUs as compared to all the other devices we have in our lives. So it should be possible in our cars, too!
(A couple of people have already replied but here goes my long-winded version.)
It does reboot everything, at least as far as I know. I think that the "reboot the CID after an update" advice is basically the same as the advice given to Windows users to "just reboot" or "defrag the hard disk", or on the Mac "reset the PRAM". It's something for you to do if the system seems to be behaving wrongly. The reboot might perturb the system enough to make it work correctly afterwards, even if it doesn't fix the underlying problem. The general lack of visibility into what's going on with the various processors (including the ones that run the CID and the IC) make it hard for us mere mortal users to come up with good diagnosis and mitigation procedures. I generally don't do a second reboot.
That having been said, my CID rebooted several times last week on its own due to problems that have been already been discussed. So the reboot I did that made the car's WiFi MAC address visible again was definitely not the first after the software upgrade. Also both WiFI and 3G were working fine on my car throughout, I just happened to stumble on this issue.

PS. BTW, thanks to @pers1 for the Dislike on my prior post. I don't know if you didn't like my light-hearted crack at Linux, or you thought I was smoking crack. Next time maybe you can be take the time to write a reply saying why you disliked it, which might lead to a real, productive discussion.

Oh, perhaps it is press and HOLD the roller, not the Right menu button to bring up the Tire Status, Trip information. I will check it out. (Not the first time I could be accused of 'doing it wrong', lol)

I did see bug #2, but only on streaming, only for first song selected when changing channels.

[singing] Oh, Canada... still waiting for v.8
(should come this week)

I'll add one more. Driving on AP on I-26 south of Asheville. In the left lane, starting to pass a semi on the right, the car veered toward the back of the truck. Scared the $hit out of my wife. If I had not had my hands on the wheel I believe we would have hit the truck. I'm astonished that people don't like the nags. With the way AP is acting in V8, I can't imagine why anyone would be so reckless to not want to be immediately ready to take over. I didn't have this issue with v7.1. Stay safe out there until these defects are corrected.
I've had AEB trigger twice this past weekend. Once with AP on when the car it was tracking switched lanes (BAD) and the second with AP off a car making a turn in front of me coming from a cross street cutting me off (GOOD). All in all I find it more unpredictable than 7.1 so far. Hoping "fleet learning" teaches it something quick.

Actual AEB, loud beeping, brakes slammed on hard, antilock pulsing?
Did you get the message on the IC?
If not, either
1. It's not AEB
2. They removed the message going from 7.1 to 8.0 (I doubt it)

And there is no harm in the reboot, so "why not" do it to potentially help with any issues.
Could reboot every night. Could make as much difference as patting your own head before exiting the car.

If it is any consolation, I haven't manually rebooted my car since April 15th when I got "Touchscreen Needs Service" (I know b/c I posted the pic on Facebook and just pulled it back up). The reboot took away the message and I haven't rebooted manually ever since.
I've only rebooted for excessive slowness. I mean like 60 second delays from input to execution.

Fortunately, I have not seen that in 7.x. I saw that all the time in 6.2. One of the two good things I got from 7.x. A few others were nice, but I am ambivalent about either way. But auto-homelink and general responsiveness were my biggest takeaways with 7.x.
Actually you are right. The time I was on AP yes loud beeping hard hard braking. The instance where I got cut off (not on AP) hard braking but not loud beeping.
