29 posts for someone to cut through the hysteria and point out that this isn’t really an issue of allowing people to “wrench” on cars as much as it is a software copyright issue.
Been there done that.
You are correct and see my post #35.
Camel’s nose under the tent. The first step in ‘wrenching’ on a car these days usually involves checking the OBD-II codes. Wanna bet whether or not the next generation of diagnostic data is encrypted....after all, reading the codes might help me ‘figure out’ the car’s software.
Yep.
And a warranty issue as well. If I'm the manufacturer and you monkey with the engine code and blow the engine up, then you'll expect me to pay for the repair?
