There are any number of “hacks” that can be done to a car in a Saturday afternoon spent in a Pep Boys parking lot.
Inspectors will have to up their game, I guess, just as they have had to do in light of other car-modding (i.e. chipping). Or they’ll decide that it’s not worth the trouble because very few people are actually doing it, which is probably the case.
This does not need to be personal. Just because Cory posts an article doesn’t mean that he’s responsible for the project. And his opinion of why it might be good is easily responded to by posting your own opinion why it’s bad.
An ownership-centric (aka right to hack) view is really about consumer rights vs corporate rights. Yes there are going to be consequences, but the principle is more important than any specific consequences. And boundaries can still be set by law, rather than being defined by an EULA.
