> This sounds like the old desktop mentality you mentioned. You can’t just reflash things to bypass a secure boot process – the entire point is to prevent things like that! The actual real problem I failed to explain is manufacturers don't want to deal with networked authentication, broken physical keys, or day-to-day repair shop operations, so they keep most of the processes offline and send out re-pairing tools that leaks. Very few cars require breaking chain of trust to swap out parts which makes "If they need to create a custom engine controller, ..." part unrealistic as of now. It takes few more years before Apple starts delivering cars.
