Funny how this needs reform now. Ol' Musk rat is getting it from all directions now. The price of going off the reservation is that they stop covering for all the little dirty rough edges that used to be so "charming".
"Let's all get into our self-driving cars to go to the big government protest!"
Whoops.
The problem is that every industry that’s attempting to monopolize repair to boost their own revenues claims that more accessible, affordable repair provisions create unique security and privacy threats.
Those damn hackers! I blame 4Chan.
FYI. Louis Rossman's Right to Repair is one of the very few charities I'd ever endorse. That, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Yikes. It seems that every regulatory agency is in bed with the corporations. Public safety and keeping cars reasonably priced to own (namely affordable repairs) is something that they fight.

They're not asleep at the wheel on self-driving fatalities, specifically Tesla.
Musk is a creation of the letter agencies, and virtually everything he does is primarily military. Musk's self-driving cars are training the ai that will control self-driving tanks and other military hardware, while also spying on everyone continually at a level above google's street view cars. Obviously Musk would never have been allowed to implement this 'feature' without military approval, since there was absolutely no regulatory framework or even concern for people's safety.
