Somebody will figure out how to get past it, even if the manufacturer protests. It's happened with Iphones, it's happened with John Deere tractors, it will happen here
Voiding your car insurance in the process? That’s never going to become even slightly mainstream.
Warranty, not insurance.
No, I meant insurance. It would sure as hell be void and null if you were to “jailbreak” a car and then crash it into someone.
Adding power mods to your car is very much mainstream. Its called tuning. You can literally download more power to many existing cars. Especially if they’re already turbocharged.
Are you saying insurers will look for a way to avoid payouts? I'll believe it when I see it!!
