This is a feel good poison pill to set precident. How do you stop developers from fiddling in their own hardware to adjust settings? Allow the poor defenseless manufacturers to lock down the system and give them more legal ways to attack people researching it. Wouldnt want someone to figure out that the subscription service we installed in their car is locally controlled! Goodness an error? Only our certified dealers can....
This is being approached in a way to weaken right to repair and ownership rights.
This is the actual issue to worry about. Everything else is smoke and mirrors, this is the real issue at hand. The corps want complete control, and they're probably gonna get it.
