      Unless they find a legal workaround. They can probably do it, if they claim it makes the car unsafe.

          It’s pretty easy to convince most people that ANY hacking is unsafe. It probably wouldn’t be that difficult to make a convincing argument, and as the maker of the car, they have a lot of authority.

              Or they can just brick it, like Apple does with iPhone, when people jail break them.

              Did Apple ever lose a lawsuit on that? You put to much trust in the system.
