More likely that it will void all warranties and if you ever bring it to a dealership for anything they lock it and charge you for it. Or they go the DRM route and force cars to be always online to verify the software, and going offline locks out those extra features. Also possibly pushing for laws making hacking obscenely punishable. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] girlfreddy@mastodon.social 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) @there1snospoon Why would they charge a customer for a hack?
