Very Interesting. Seems this is pointed towards the technology in cars, but could one day effect us all. Independent mechanics in jeopardy?

This should be interesting. I wonder that IF we in fact are purchasing a license to use proprietary software, what will happen to the aftermarket industry. Will auto manufactures be held liable in auto accidents for faulty software? What is the legal recourse since "patches and updates" are not avaliable by the MFG to update their software. If you are unhappy with what you "extended licenses", can you return the car as it did not meet the expectations set in the brochure (like I did with my last computer) or by the sales rep?
This should be interesting.... |
