    Not a lot of options there. You either go with an old pre-computer car or get an open source car (which isn’t really an option).

    I’m not talking about the infotainment system, just to be clear. I’m talking about the software that controls the functions of the drive and safety systems. If you want an infotainment system that you have complete control over, I’d suggest putting an open source tablet on your dash

    Sadly, it looks like most of the FOSS car infotainment projects died a few years ago.

        Nope. If you want control over what’s getting done to your software, you’ve got to take ownership of it, or you might get changes in your fixes you’re not happy with.
