so the squeezening of tech into vehicles seemed to happen at right the same time engine compartments stopped having enough room to change the headlights without having to bust out a cherry picker. at least from the “i can fix a carburetor but maybe not a self parking system why does my grain thresher have one of those anyways” perspective over here.
In a decade or two, they will be electric and there won’t be a carburetor. It will all be more like that parking system. The moment software comes in, much easier to lock people in. That needs to not be the case. It’s always made out that somehow working on software of these things is dangerous, but somehow working on a mechanical machine of controlled explosions of flammable liquid is not. Most people are just going to flash on firmware someone else did.

i’m almost with you (and i get the point you’re making) but my little shitbox from the 80s that i love, she had a tiny computer under the seat. i think it managed the lights and emission system or something.
They had really got the locking people in down to an art like they so now. It was a more innocent time, computer wise. Now, if it’s not open, basically assume they are doing something bad.
