I think you don't really own even a petroleum vehicle. For example, an engine is controlled by non-FOSS computer device for fuel injecting. Another example, you can not turn off your seat-belt alert. Please note, I am not a big fun of carburetor engines or driving without seat-belts. But if I can not turn on an engine without running some malware and have to obey to some guy who has written what I ought to do while sitting in my car then I am not an owner of the engine and the rest of "my" car.
