When you start fucking with critical drive systems on a pay-to-play basis there's going to be a mistake made and someone will die as a result.

If we had anything that looked like meaningful corporate regulation this would be illegal.

Car companies will take the risk when they make more money than they have to pay out to the victims family. GM was guilty of this a few years ago

Cost of doing business, money is more important than human life.

This just affirms what I said.

Capitalism, am I right?

Narrator:

A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.

It’s just ecu flash or code injection to turn on disabled map. Not as complicated as you would wonder.

Unlocking blocked mapping should be way safer than a custom tune by a shop.
