A brand new vehicle architecture and infotainment designed a few years ago, and it can't tolerate deviced permanently plugged into USB ports or card readers?

The issue, as I see it, is that it's too many cooks in the kitchen. There isn't a single individual / department that has architected the entire solution and understands how everything needs to communicate with each other. There are too many different pieces that need to work together, and the software isn't written holistically to support all of it properly. Case in point: The Infotainment software doesn't have all of the correct hooks in place either within it, or within the modules that support the USB ports, to ensure that everything initializes properly BEFORE it starts trying to access devices that are connected.
