- ClumsyPilot 6y agoI am just waiting untill car companies as "platform owners" start preventing you from driving to areas they don't like, or exceeding speed limit. Afterall, you just paid for the car, they still own the software that controls the engine.

Aftermarket ECU Tunes can often invalidate your warranty. Most OEM infotainment headunits are not user upgradable. GPS Maps must be refreshed through the dealer. In the US there is a governor that limits how fast a car can go.
