Safety means extra-flashable.
Yeah man, can't wait to be sharing the road with people running custom ROMs on their 2 ton death machine. People are well known for being responsible in situations like that.
Quite frankly why the hell should I trust any publicly traded automaker to flash quality software?
Some of them have a track record for quantifying the cost of fixing an issue versus cost of settling lawsuits for that unfixed issue killing people.
Why would I trust an unaccountable rando with the same thing? One has a brand they need to uphold, and are liable for any kind of damages caused by their firmware.
When Joe Shmo crashes his soft-modded Honda Civic into a crowd of people, who's going to pay for the damage and lawsuits, etc.?
because roadways are so safe and free from accidents as is.
Right, exactly. We don't need more.
People do already. It's called tuning. I drove a car I custom tuned myself for 3 years...
Skill issue?
