Comment on My Car Is Becoming a Brick
fixmycode@feddit.cl 5 days agoI wonder if in the future, installing your own software in the car will become illegal: given that car software can even control transmission, a car manufacturer could argue that it could compromise safety of the vehicle and pedestrians, an unsafe car framework could mean that someone can potentially program the car to accelerate when frontal sensors detect someone, to be a bit extreme, but don’t tell me its impossible.

I think it would be more like the car maker couldn’t be held liable for what the car did if the car was hacked. And good luck getting insurance to cover you if you wrecked your car after hacking it. It would be a strictly at-your-own-risk proposition. And if you hurt anyone else driving a hacked car, woo buddy.
