    It’d be easier to simply hack the software and reprogram it to just act normal

    Duck their software licenses. I buy a car, I pay for it, it’s MY car and I will very much decide how to use it

      The problem is bugs being far bigger issue. Imagine a bug/crash causing your throttle to get stuck and brakes not working.
      If it happens now, at least it’s the manufacturer who’d be liable, I hope.

      I want a completely separate emergency shutdown+brake.
