i was responding to the notion that "all car companies allow their cars to be hackable" and how that is not really true. I know very well that the software in modern cars is really insecure, buggy, and sometimes even willfully lawbreaking. Opening it up to consumers should be done but how to do it without introducing the risk of hobbyists driving dangerous cars on the road that endangers others is an unsolved problem. Asking Tesla to do this and not any of the other manufacturers else wouldn't be fair to them, it should be across the board. Longer term I think driving on public roads should itself be illegal once things are autonomous, but even then, allowing hacked autonomous cars on the road are still a problem. It points towards a future where self-owned cars just aren't allowed on roads anymore. If you traveled in time 300 years and landed on the spot a major highway existed in the present, what would be there?
