It is already legal to modify cars even though they are dangerous, so a working legal framework for that kind of stuff exists. I don't see why we shouldn't be able to handle the case where somebody chooses to run Doom on their pacemaker.
- dzhiurgis 2y ago> It is already legal to modify cars even though they are dangerous Not in places with regular inspection and mandated insurance. I.e. most civilised world.
- viraptor 2y agoThat's not quite right. You can totally modify them. The restrictions are around what's allowed on public roads, not what you do with the car. (You can drive whatever you want on your land) And even then, many modifications are ok and you can get special classifications for "unsafe" cars (like vintage ones without any safety features)
- freeone3000 2y agoNearly all car mods pass inspection. Look at what is actually checked: safety and emissions. Nothing about speed, appearance, sound, horsepower, ride height, or stock state. And moreover: if you modify a car that fails inspection, it’s on you, not the manufacturer!
- sqeaky 2y agoYou are correct in the larger sense, I am just pointing out details. Sound checks are part of checks in some places where there are sound limits on vehicles. Some "mufflers" are more like megaphones.
