Subaru, Kia shut off some car features rather than adhere to 'right to repair'
<i>Automakers argue that independent shops can already get the data they need, with permission — but making it automatically accessible by third parties is dangerous.</i><p>Yeah, this is just further BS in a long line of BS.  This continuing quest to build vehicles that cannot be serviced by anybody but a dealer is just a tactic to make more money off the misery of customers.  I dearly wish they just banned the sale of any auto that couldn&#x27;t comply.  We honestly need to deal with this company throws a hissy-fit culture (e.g. Apple and the App Store) every time society says it wants all companies in a sector to act in a certain way.  This rent seeking is just getting out of hand.<p>Also, statements like its &quot;impossible&quot; should be brought to a court to ascertain the truth value and fine the heck out of liars.
