    I can’t wait until we see people flashing firmwares on BMWs. Although I wish people weren’t giving them money in the first place

      The issue is that I bet modifying the firmware will have consequences on insurance and liability in case of an accident. Regardless of whether or not one is at fault or not, and that it didn’t have any effect

        we can’t track if you accelerate too quickly away from red lights anymore, so we will be unable to insure you.

      cant wait until we start seeing locked bootloaders and enforced chain of trust bullshit on cars.

      under the excuse of safety and liability, of course. how CAN they ensure your safety if they don’t spy on your every move amirite?
