I've been riding motorcycles for a couple decades and now that they're all fancy and computer controlled, most bike have their ECUs cracked within a couple years. Granted most of the time it's to remove Euro-5 emissions controls 🙄, or remove speed limiters. But could this be an option to disable car surveillance?

I recognize car companies will probably retaliate by saying you voided warranty, but so far most motorcycle companies don't do that.

There are those still content with gas engine performance.

I sincerely doubt this will be limited to EVs going forward.

No, they use them because of the smell and noise. Infant seeking attention.
