Having hacked cars running on public roads - how do you think that will impact road safety?
I'm all for people to control the hardware they buy, as long as they don't increase the risk of crashing into my car or running me over while crossing the street.
- erulabs 6y agoTypically the hacks amount to enabling a feature in the car that you would otherwise have to pay for. For example new BMWs come with seat-heaters in the car, but not available to be used unless an additional fee is paid to unlock them. A "hack" would be using the seat-heaters in the car you paid for without paying. For things like custom driving software, usually people test that on closed race tracks, etc.
