The ownership vs possesion is definately tricky, as the history of crypto is littered with lost or stolen keys, etc. I'd like to see the keys to the kingdom being unique for each machine and being handed over to the owner when the purchase is made. As for positive government action- I think government plays 'neutral' action when it sets the rules of the game, and current rules of the game are, you could be consodered owner of a vehicle even though you don't have keys to the software. Those rules are wrong and need changing - because we have never explicitly set the rules for what does it mean to own an object with firmware. I am trying to frame it in such a way, as to make it clear that we arent asking manufacturers for concession, we are correcting illigitimate market behaviour, sort of like selling snake oil.
