    Wonder what they would do if found out. Would they brick the car remotely? Then would it be covered under insurance since the car is totaled if the CPU is bricked. That sure would be an interesting lawsuit to find out about the true ownership of a car.

      I assume if you put custom firmware on the car, you’d either tamper with the antenna so this was not possible, or futz with signing keys so the car wouldn’t accept an OTA update from the manufacturer?
