I should be able to modify the software on my car, because I am exactly as credentialed to develop that software as the person who actually did. Hell, my high schooler nephew holds the same credentials: There are no professional software engineering licenses. If some software is too important for Joe Public to wrench on, it should need to be signed off by a P.E. who can vouch their livelihood and professional standing on the quality of that software, representing not the company's "maybe some people will die, but we can afford it" interests, but the public's "we don't want manufacturers planning to kill people" interests. Until then, I've got the same qualifications as that person. Let me at it.
