I can understand the rationale that modified software could be a major danger in their cars.
- userbinator 7y agoWe've had modified cars and the associated culture for over a century, and no major danger has arisen from it (no more than the usual attributed to bad drivers, anyway.)

- cameronbrown 7y agoMechanics are not software engineers. Now I do believe we should be able to modify the software, but the infrastructure is not there right now.
- guitarbill 7y agothe batteries are fairly new technology though and do pose a serious hazard. i have no doubt as the field matures it'll become safer though, with established procedures. glad to see people like Rich Benoit are blazing the trail already.
- Sendotsh 7y agoAre the battery packs really more dangerous than playing with nitrous injection or race fuel? I don’t need any certifications or permission to do either of those in my shed.
- cameronbrown 7y agoIs there a lot of information online relating to those subjects? I'd guess it's a lot easier to find knowledge in these areas than lithium ion batteries for cars, which obviously makes it more dangerous because there's nobody to help if something goes wrong.
