Let’s reverse engineer every “smart car” software and disable all connectivity.

You'd still need hardware access to install that software, presumably? Surely it would break some sort of warrant. Also, as much as I despise connectivity in smart cars, I'm not sure I'm comfortable having AI code injected into my car. Then again, the car companies are surely already injecting AI slop into every single new car these days... Maybe it's not such a bad idea after all. It's rough, but we gotta fight slop with slop.

    Even with access to the car hardware would it be impossible to just flash a new firmware onto it, not without some major security flaw in their bootloader or leaked keys to sign the new firmware. It is all locked down tightly.
