inb4 manufacturers start baking it into the fuel injection cpu, and spending (your) extra money with encryption to lock the "owner" out like modern phones
Right to Repair
Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

My cell phone doesn't have a fuel injection cpu.
Pathetic, how old is your phone??? Like a thousand years or something?????
Cadillac here. I just unscrew the cellular antenna from the onstar module before leaving the lot. Looks like the onstar module is less conveniently located for bolts (it’s under my rear seats, I think it’s behind your screen), but that’s a good way to avoid collateral damage to other things on the same fuse. Since it’s a separate antenna from the gps, I even still get navigation, just without map updates. It’s all the good of a cell jammer, with none of the prison or fines. For now.
Even better because without the antenna load, the transmitter may burn out.
LMK if anyone finds the fuse my Kia uses to track my sex life per the TOS. Also unrelated, but please LMK if anyone finds my sex life. I seem to have misplaced it.
It's in your glove.
So if they're charging more for bad drivers, they'll charge less for good drivers, right?
If one company raises rates on bad drivers and uses the difference to offer lower rates to other drivers, they'll get more customers.
You should do stand-up, that was hilarious
I literally started typing "please don't reply if it's just some knee-jerk response" then decided it wasn't necessary. Yet here we are.
Or stop buying cars made by these companies.
They all do it, to varying extents. The only good way to avoid it is buying a car old enough to not collect your data.
Your first mistake is buying Chevy.
Only cheap EV, not much of a choice
I would rather ride a pogo stick to work than ever give Chevy another penny.
Why?
Because every experience I have ever had with them has been awful, and everyone I know who has owned a chevy has had constant issues. Transmission failures under 50k miles, electronics breaking on new cars, entire ac failing on a car with with only 40k miles, etc. I could keep going. GM clearly does not give a shit about quality control.
Hmm I'll keep an eye out. Mine doesn't have a transmission though.
Good luck!
