They aren’t bug free but that is the same as closed source and requiring open source would prevent malicious actors from doing as much while also letting anyone who wanted to pentest and granularly access the code have complete access and find as many if not more weaknesses than a dedicated corporate bug hunting team


I dont think cars should connect to the Internet if you don’t want them to so live commands shouldn’t be an issue but if you are talking about programming preset commands in having the apps be open source would fix that for the most part by adding that auditing layer


That is fair but some emissions control software and such is run through the same computer, I agree on the tactile sensation but I wouldn’t want to tie critical car functions into a smartphone so you would still need a computer and if you are gonna put a computer in at least some functionality based on spare processing power makes sense


Either that or ban obfuscated hardware 9r software in vehicles and require the infotainment section to be modular so that people can change out pieces and upgrade hardware as they want

And do the same thing for all electronics
