In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn't feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in it ?

If you are clever, confident, and savvy about it I think you could get your next car for free. If there was a kickstarter type project where I could pledge an amount in support of a jailbreak for a car I owned or was thinking of getting, I'd pledge a decent amount, I think a lot of people would.

That's the irony of all of this. I too would donate to a project that was actively trying to do this, even donate to their legal fund. I'd probably pay more than the subscription!

These asshole companies just don't realize that a determined developer and engineer will move heaven and earth to make sure that their freedoms (as in speech) aren't restricted.

I don't care if it's illegal. It's my fucking car. Once you sell it to me, it ceases to be your property. You leave $100 bill in the glove compartment before you sell it to me? Well it's mine now.

You leave software on my car's computer? Welp, it's mine now.

Right to repair is a main line issue for me
