    Obviously we can’t trust the companies to properly maintain our vehicles in good faith, and we cant trust captured regulatory departments to keep the auto companies in line.

    We’re watching in the whole Tesla affair that companies are glad to endanger families by the hundreds of thousands to preserve a rising profit. Corporations have no interest in our safety, whereas we do.

    So yes, its up to the end-user to aftermarket the Hell out of any stock vehicle to assure it will run in emergencies, and fail to brick when the company shows incompetence or malice.

        I never said that it was. I said that regulation of automobiles isn’t doing any good to keep companies in check or serve the public.

        I’m beginning to suspect whether you are engaging this dialog in good faith.

          “Regulation isn’t working, so it’s up to us to do something wildly irresponsible and dangerous instead of working towards better regulation”

          Go away

            Nah, you can block me if you like.

            You accuse me of endorsing wildly irresponsible and dangerous action while ignoring the manufacturers have already engaged in wildly irresponsible and dangerous action.

            This tells me you’re not interested in solutions but the interests of the car makers.

            So in the interests of protecting others from your further attempts to deceive and disseminate false propaganda, maybe I should keep an eye on you for a while.
