I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car

In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn't feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in it ?
The question is, who will venture deep enough and understand all the hurdles like the car self-bricking after even trying to peek at the SW or HW.
Someone figured out how to remotely take control of Chrysler vehicles with the Uconnect 8.4 systems a while back. So people are out there working on these things. Also, the more popular the car, the more likely someone is working on it.
To FCA's credit in that case, they listened to the researchers and implemented several fixes very quickly to address the problem. I wouldn't put it past many manufacturers to do the hands-over-the-ears "la la la" thing when faced with the same situation.

Are you talking about people breaking in and stealing them? While I agree that was a stupid problem, it's quite a bit different than a remote hacker taking over your brakes while you drive.
Well, it's only a small step from there. Still, it's dumb and it's hard to trust the cars nowadays. Hell, some of them may be already infected and waiting for order 66.
