IMO, we should separate two things:
* Ability to modify firmware of your own car.
* Ability to inspect and review code in the car.
The first one is dangerous, imagine someone who wanted to improve ABS but didn't do testings, and this led to a crash. Or, if we consider, more intelligent self driving cars, possibilities for abuse, etc, are enormous.
The second one is discussable. On one hand, we want to make cars as safe as possible, and there's no better way for this, than inspecting code. On the other hand, the company wants to protect their intellectual properties from competitors.
