I used to be in the business of writing custom software for businesses, and it was common to have an escrow set up so that if the software vendor went out of business or otherwise disappeared, the source code would be released to the company who hired the software to be written. I can't understand why something similar isn't required for these new "computer essential" cars.

The issue with that could be the legality of who owns the software. Most auto makers don't make a lot of the computers and especially the code on them. So, when they buy the modules to produce the cars, one could assume they get a license to use the software but don't have the ownership to fully release it. You would most likely need the parent company like Bosch to authorize it, which won't happen.

Man, people were paying over $70K for the Ocean One launch edition vehicles. I had one of the $50K Extreme models reserved for two years before I got cold feet and canceled it. We went to see one at a pre-launch event in Seattle and my wife was really not impressed once we saw it in person. She was seeing things I was ignoring because I had rose colored glasses on. I canceled it a month later after doing some research for a replacement. Thank god I did!

The one you saw in Seattle in Oct 2022 was far and away not even close to the production model. Mine , like the show car, was BSB but mine had the black abyss interior which looks much better with blue exterior. 11,700 miles later i love it but wish i had all the features that were promised (and paid for!). Biggest gripe? Fuggin radio has to be booted up every god damned time you get in the car even if you just pop into a grocery store for 10 minutes. Once you FOB lock the car, its like the morning startup all over again. Why cant the stupid thing just go back to previous channel/playlist when you start up???😡 Oh, and TomTom sucks ass as a nav system. Only gives 1 route option even if you are near several highway junctions or viable arterial roads. Dog forbid if you alter from the planned route because it spends the remainder of your drive trying to get you to make u-turns back onto it. You were probably smart to walk away, i am still hoping for a miracle.

Bit by bit, Big Business is trying to move us away from the concept of physical ownership of their product to a model where you're purchasing a _license_ to use the product, but the manufacturer maintains ownership of the physical product.

100%. Subscription businesses get higher valuations due to recurring revenue. Even if it's lower revenue, the fact it's recurring usually makes up for that. Worse product, less sales, still more money for the owners. The thing is, they kind of have best of both worlds because they have you by the balls despite you "owning" the car now, if anything does not run without talking to the cloud (even every X days), you MUST stay connected in some way. This is increasingly ubiquitous in software and can't imagine all automakers are far behind. But if tech/modules break because of a software update down the road, well, you are the owner so tough luck. Once the car is running well and bugs are fixed (hopefully under warranty), turn off updates so things won't get bricked over time like with iPhones. Problem is they'll surely make it so service becomes impossible because firmware doesn't match current spec and so artificially the diagnostics won't work. It's truly criminal how for a 7 year old car the identical module with identical software doesn't work because there is a fake gate created called "programming" where it's simply not doing anything proprietary. I understand why the traction control logic itself shouldn't be opened up necessarily - that's proprietary. But it's absolute BS that the identical module with identical software being replaced in a car can't be used solely because of proprietary methods of marrying it to a VIN. Seems very anti-trust-y to me.

@@nevco8774 one thing you’re not understanding, business works out of demand. If there is demand, there’s business, there’s money to be made. Same here, if enough people say duck this modern crap, keep buying these parts, there will be places that make them, whether that’s the manufacturer or aftermarket. Also, go buy a crap ton do them now while cheap and available, and put them in a box in your storage and you’re golden. One of those computers will cost you a tenth, if not less than a single sensor on most modern cars. I had a dead radio control module on my 22 Ram 1500 Laramie. It was replaced under warranty, but if I didn’t have it, the module was over 2K. A radio module for 2K. And the wait time to get it for the dealer was over a month. Good luck to you getting it yourself now. My radio died once in the crown Vic. Wanna guess how much it cost me to replace it? However much a new radio costs at any store. You can get a $20 one, or a thousand bucks one. Guess what, you can’t replace the radio in a Tesla. Nor a modern Ram 1500, or F150. So yeah.. your point isn’t exactly valid here.

I have a W205 Mercedes AMG with the Active LED headlights. Well one of my headlights died because of a fatal flow in all LED headlights today and that is condensation buildup. This condensation eventually destroyed to main LED module. From Mercedes Dealership you can only purchase the full headlamp and in Canada that is $2850. If you have a Mercedes Service Center, you can purchase the module alone however only Mercedes can program the module, though you can find the module online for less that what Mercedes sells it for. The module cost $630, plus labour and programming, the total cost to get my headlights to work was $1500 which is I could have done it myself, would have cost $400.

American leasing is a taxi and limousine commission (TLC) specific car leasing company that leases to Uber and Lyft drivers. They will most likely be transitioning all of their fleet to these instead of Camry’s and Highlanders and Tesla’s. It’s actually a really good buy for them because normally they have to buy cars at full market value, with a slight discount obv, dr. so what they will have to spend to set up their own support network for these cars will still be a massive savings for them overtime. I run a private car service here so I’m familiar with the business.

I heard there was a company license-building Volvo 240s, but not sure where or if they're still around. April hit the nail on the head when she mentioned the government controlling our cars. A BIG roadblock to building new old cars IS the government. New cars have to meet tougher emissions standards. They have to meet updated safety regulations (like side impact airbags after 2010) so that would limit any attempt at making new old cars to 1500 units or less per year to satisfy the requirements for "low volume production" exemption. I wonder if the same company could make 1500 Crown Vics, 1500 Volvo 240s, 1500 Toyota pickups from the early 90s, 1500 Nissan Hardbodys, etc. I imagine the auto manufacturers would not willingly (or cheaply) issue a license for another company to build their obsolete cars. You'd almost have to do it with a defunct in the US brand, such as Isuzu or Suzuki. New 1991 Suzuki Sidekicks and Isuzu Troopers would probably be a hit.

worse thought: hackers can now break into your car remotely and either give themselves control, cut the power, unlock the doors or even move the car.

You finally figured it out. No you don’t really own ANY electric car because with the software the carmaker can shut your car down anytime! #RichRebuilds opened my eyes to this loooong ago. I will never buy an electric car let along a hybrid.

Remember in “The War of the Worlds” Tom Cruise movie where his vintage Mustang was one of the few cars that would run because an EMP had taken out the electronics of all the modern cars? #itcouldhappen

It SHOULD make everyone nervous that the government wants to have control of your car. There is literally no good reason for that

Every day, owning my 04 ES330 seems so much a smarter decision than to replace it with something newer.

My 2014 Lexus ES300H hybrid was a fantastic vehicle. I bought it with 99k miles and used it as a fulltime rideshare vehicle, so very hard use. I also commuted alot (150 miles round trip everyday) at 80-90mph and took breaks for hours idling the car in parking lots. My SIL totalled it after 2 years at 184k miles. During that time the only thing that failed were the front power doorlock actuators after using them 100X a day because of rideshare. Other than that just oil and air filter changes, 1 set of tires and wipers. I even averaged about 38-40mpg despite driving it like an asshole.

A problem with a open code for cars is that your car could be hack, stolen or worse get into an accident because somebody is controlling your car, have to be a middle point of that problem.

My depression era dad was right. Never buy new. Fix your own stuff. I’m driving an old three town car with parts. Available everywhere. And super reliable. Gets 26 mpg on the freeway loaded. Not kidding. My wife’s Lexus doesn’t do any better with a V6.

Our 2000 Lincoln Town Car barely averaged 20mpg whike our 2006 BMW X3 3.0 with double the mileage averages 22 mpg (72yo mother drives both mostly)

I think your Lincoln needs a tuneup. I’ve driven my 2003 3 k miles fully loaded at 85 or 90 miles an hour most of the time and got 26 mpg. Know if that was your average for city and highway that was good. I have had several of these 4.6 L Fords in the panther platform and they all got similar mileage. You can pick them up cheap too.

@billshearer3984 It was pretty new and low mileage, well maintained when we owned it. It was replaced with the X3. The panther are reliable but either you drive crazy slow or suck at math.

Well, that was the goal of all cars makers, but Tesla was more open about it. They all want the cars to be theirs, and you to pay for the rights to use the cars, kinda like when you "buy" Windows. Tesla, back when they talked openly about this, even stated that they wanted to make it illegal for you to resell your car and that as soon as you stopped using the car, you were to send it back to Tesla. Also, about gov. control on the cars, as April mentionned it, well, that has been in the air for a while now. Of course, only "conspirationists" talk about it. And before someone says it, no, I'm not saying the Earth is flat.

Someone like George Hotz should hack cars' ECUs and replace them with a Raspberry Pi/Arduino so we won't be dependent on automakers and their updates for a 15+ year old 2024+ car.

They have never been truly nice. Materials weren’t that great, some were good, most were cheap. The cars fall apart, using parts bin stuff that isn’t even good to begin with. The last cars fiasco is a great example of half assed job, nothing more. It’s not a good car, it’s not a good toy, it’s not even a good paperweight. You’re a bit delusional on this one…
