Assuming the web server does not actually store and serve pages in a conventional sense, but rather acts like an application that can render the results of parsing and processing user's input, I wonder what are legal implications. I ca

A landing page or better a login-free demo mode would be great. Right now all I see is a sign up page, which does not convince me of anything. The idea sounds interesting and attractive though.

I drive a VW ID.3, and while it has traditional door handles, there is a feature that drives me crazy: it auto-locks the doors when you start driving. There is no way to turn this off. In case of a crash, the doors won't open from the
