Excellent. The PEV revolution could open the way for a flourishing of unique autos that support privacy and maintainability. Or it could be a DRM locked down dystopia.



>DRM locked down dystopia.

Sadly, I expect this to happen. People don't care for privacy and data-hoarding, regulators are slow and will not draw the hard line quickly in hope to satisfy corporations or political donors.

I just hope that conversion EV's will not be outlawed. I see a future in which the problems that we have with Apple's products (hard repairability, closed ecosystem) will slip into digitization in auto industry and SaaS will be everywhere.
