Cars are essential to living in America except for a few cities. Car manufacturers can basically do whatever they want.
There was a recent YouTube video with a car thief that basically showcased a "special" tablet that could get any car started in a minute by plugging into the OBD port. Pretty shitty security model if it relies on no tablets getting out.
