A "right to repair" is insufficient but a good start. As you say computers in vehicle are nothing more than holding consumers captive for a guaranteed revenue stream for the lifetime of a product. The first incident that got me thinking about this is Tivoization. The problem is getting much worse and regular consumers are unaware it is happening. As I said "right to repair" is a good right to fight for. We need a "right to own". I recognise and acknowledge there is significant overlap. This is why I would never buy a Tesla.
