Abstract:
Disclosed embodiments relate to opportunistically updating Electronic Control Unit (ECU) software in a vehicle. Operations may include receiving, at a controller in a vehicle, a wireless transmission indicating a need to update software running on at least one ECU in the vehicle; monitoring an operational status of the vehicle to determine whether the vehicle is in a first mode of operation in which an ECU software update is prohibited; delaying the ECU software update when the operational status is prohibited; continuing to monitor the operational status of the vehicle to determine whether the vehicle is in a second mode of operation in which the ECU software update is permitted; and enabling updating of the at least one ECU with the delayed ECU software update when it is determined that the vehicle is in the second mode of operations.

Claim (Index 4):
The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 1 , wherein the delayed software update is maintained on a server remote from the vehicle when the vehicle is in the first mode of operation, and wherein the instructions further comprise:\n sending a message to the remote server when the vehicle is in the second mode of operation; receiving the ECU software update in reply to the message; and installing the ECU software update on the at least one ECU in the vehicle when the vehicle is in the second mode of operation.
