It seems incredible that this is the source code for the $999 product originally destined to be available this year. I'm extremely familiar with OBD|CAN and car networks - the embedded code alone is an essay in how trivial something can appear (sending commands to a ECU) without considering the million edge cases that make this a safe product to use.

But in a nutshell: The company was approached by agencies that had severe concerns over safety and if this would have the required regulations in place. So the company folded and released this instead.
