If saftey is your concern I hope you do not blindly trust manufacturers given their history of “safety and security”. My concern is software freedom: being in control of your own computing (instead of the creator being in control). All software has bugs, but at least 3rd party software isn’t intentionally adding anti-features and spyware.
He’s at least right on the front that physical maintenance is easier to do right and be understandable to your avg person due to its higher barrier of entry.
Digital lower barrier of entry if you can just side load apps means that some real dumb shit will be done that can cause way more problems.
Both of the possibility of killing people. But physical is harder to fuck up if for no other reason then you can see or feel it’s wrong. Digital is already a problem with distracted drivers. Let’s not make it easier.
Not to mention there’s literally nothing that actually requires the infotainment and canbus being isolated… So digital attacks are extremely likely. The rabbit hole basically always leads to do not allow user access no matter what for the safety of fucking everyone.
Maybe you’ve missed the real dumb shit getting out from various tech manufacturers. I’m not a car guy but I know enough about software and manufacturers screwing people to see that criminals and amaturers are not the real issue in regards to saftey or repair.
A Suburu car has a text pop up advert from the manufacturer on display screen, which can’t be used for normal functionallity until you click off it. Is that distracting to you? Want to bet it doesn’t ever get worse than that when the incentive is there and they’re in control? Source: 5m video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw3KRfy9vQY
When I have time I’ll try to recall car specific repair issues that lead to injury. All that comes to mind is OneWheel, and the medical industry screeming death by cost.
