>> despite the fact that every automaker keeps their software secret.
And that refutes the point they are hiding their scam how? Just because the other automakers were not caught (yet) does not mean they are not all doing dishonest shit with their code
- mikeash 11y agoOK, it doesn't refute that point if they're all cheating. In that case, what refutes the point is simply that businesses usually keep their code secret by default, and require some motivation to open them. They may take advantage of closed source to do bad things, but those bad things are not the reason for closed source.
- ethbro 11y agoIn my experience, embarrassment is usually a larger motivation for keeping code closed-source.
