sending, via a master transport, the first portion of the software update to the first transport;
responsive to the first transport performing a first validation of the first portion of the software update over a number of utilizations in a first environment, performing a second validation of the first portion of the software update over another number of utilizations in a second environment with a greater amount of potential interactions than the first environment, and responsive to the second validation, sending the first portion of the software update to a second transport;
sending, via the master transport, a second portion of the software update to a second transport; and, sending by the second transport the second portion of the software update to the first transport when the first transport and the second transport are in proximity.
