A very small very personal note: dear automakers what about making connected cars, BUT connected to their formal owners? Like hey a car with a webui built-in. So for instance instead of crapplications and crappy APIs [1] we can simply connect directly with dynDNS or a personal domain to our cars and owning them fully enough to decide how to upgrade their crapware, witch services gives to whom and so on?
I have three cars, only one a modern connected BEV, a modest MG ZS long range 2022. Just for instance with it's app sometimes I connect to someone else car in another country, localizing it. Apparently unlocking and remote command heating/A/c does not work sometimes, asking for a pin, sometimes does work not asking for nothing.
The problem is not the ex-husband, the problem is the crappy crapware you put on your vehicles to control them as you wish without much formal owners but in reality just users controls...
That's the real ABUSE.
