We've got DRM on batteries (Renault's electric vehicles) requiring a renewal with unknown terms and conditions.
What's to stop vehicle manufacturers from slapping on a Personal-Use Terms of Service to their vehicles which prohibits the Commercial Use (under different ToS), or Restricted Commercial Use Policy which prevents self-driving passenger rides outside their approved apps? They would be able to enforce it by remotely disabling the battery when such practices are found (Renault can do that already).
