In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn’t feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in it ?

    Not many will risk installing unofficial software on their car.

    We should heavily regulate official options.

      Cars separate core functionality from the infotainment system. I’d fully expect foss infotainment to be significantly higher quality.

        Cars often don’t now, rendering you unable to start/open them.

        Also, define “higher quality”. More user-centric, less obtrusive and “just works”? Yes, certainly better in that regard.
