Jailbreak it and sideload some WADs.

You joke, but I have no doubt this will be child's play for the egg heads on the racing scene.

You wouldn't...

I can't wait until we see people flashing firmwares on BMWs. Although I wish people weren't giving them money in the first place

The issue is that I bet modifying the firmware will have consequences on insurance and liability in case of an accident. Regardless of whether or not one is at fault or not, and that it didn't have any effect

we can't track if you accelerate too quickly away from red lights anymore, so we will be unable to insure you.

cant wait until we start seeing locked bootloaders and enforced chain of trust bullshit on cars.

under the excuse of safety and liability, of course. how CAN they ensure your safety if they don't spy on your every move amirite?

If they do that will their blinkers work?

I'm starting to really hate this timeline. Might be time to pick another door.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I paid a subscription fee for the option

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago

Absolutely not. Immediately trade that shit in. Uh uh. No. Fuck off. Keep fucking off. Fuck off some more. Fuck off until you've circumnavigated the globe then fuck off again.

Not just not but hell no.

As someone who owned a 1993, a 2000, and a 2008 BMW in succession, I cannot believe anyone would buy the pieces of crap they have turned into.

I stopped buying them when they started piping in fake engine noise into the cabin and dropped all pretense that the cars would last beyond the lease period (I don’t buy new cars).

It looks like they have gotten much worse.
