Irrelevant to this discussion, end to end encryption was essential solved long ago. This is about a 3rd party application having direct access to the cars core system. It has to since it IS the main controller of the car.
This is totally different than an ECU tune, different universe. The suggestion was a 3rd party application controlling the car not an app on your phone authored by the auto maker. Very very different. Sell the car for $20,200 instead. Core functionality must stay with the automaker IMO or it becomes a giant mess, people WILL blame the auto maker when something goes wrong. And we're not even getting into safety concerns. |

Let people make their own decisions. They can use the official app if they want but if there is an android app there will be custom interfaces created.

I'm fine with that as long as they don't blame the auto maker when something goes wrong. Which will happen lawyers will come out of the walls to sue.
You can't go and try and sue Microsoft if you have modified windows after all |

Since it is running on a phone I guarantee you there will be custom apps to run the car. Infinitely better than being at the mercy of a built in system and OTA updates

Hilarious comparison your bank doesn't let you into their system via your own software.

Yeah but people will do it, you already know that.
however, there's another angle to this. 'abrp' (a better route planner) is a popular 3rd party ev trip planning app. on my hyundai, abrp can know the live state of battery charge if i give it the login credentials to my hyundai 'bluelink' app, which i did, to make abrp way more useful. i'm sure hyundai had to approve this use of the login though. obviously implementation dependent, but giving credentials of the oem app to a 3rd party apps doesn't automatically mean the 3rd party app can do 'anything' with the car. in the case of abrp it can't control anything, just read the battery level. in that way it's more like plugging into an obd-ii port. interesting times... |
I think it's smaller than I thought; pretty dinky. I'm not selling our beloved Tundra just yet...

All TBD - when this was launched the tax credit was still a thing. It's going to be hard to hit those planned price points.
