Yes, but to me there's another important issue, with all the tracking tech in our vehicles, who actually owns them? We need to treat this similar to the "right to repair" issue! I paid my money, so I own the product. [IF] I own the vehicle it should be my right to say what software runs in the background.

Of course the company can say, "If you don't like our product, don't buy it." If I want to keep up with the latest safety upgrades to my vehicle to protect myself and all car companies have the same tracking software, my only option is to look for a "dumb" vehicle. This is blatantly unsafe and irresponsible. So, they're saying that my safety comes with a price other than the $40K I shelled out?
