Yes, they have been on that road for years. Tesla showed everyone the way with things like always-on connectivity or not being able to change a headlight with another original one without Tesla’s blessing. What I meant is that whatever I can do with an LLM they can do more. And if they can invoke “safety” that'll keep the law on their side for some time.

As far as I can tell no manufacturer disables the car yet when detecting modifications, or take drivers to court for doing it, yet.
