Tesla owners are modifying their cars to be escapable if the car catches fire, because the doors stop working like normal and you need to rely on well-hidden mechanical overrides.

Which... feels pretty dangerous, like that's the worst possible time for the doors to stop working like normal.

Take a look at comma.ai and openpilot to see whether your car is compatible. I've put about 100k miles on my comma running on my Honda Civic. Then you get a working car that's not a deathtrap and improved self driving features.
