Changing the pads on your car’s brakes is a pretty straightforward and inexpensive process on most vehicles. However, many modern vehicles having electronic parking brakes giving manufacturers a new avenue to paywall simple DIY repairs.

That’s rich. Not too long ago they had appauling security issues with their cars, now they think they can just paywall this? As usual, priorities are out of whack (Linux on cars, when?)
IDK man, I think cars have more than enough driver issues already…
I like a good pun when I see one
Hah!
Someone correct me if I am wrong, But I’m pretty sure VWAG (Volkswagen Audi Group) software is built on Redhat for both the infotainment and the digital dash cluster, and they are riddled with issues 😬
That is very interesting. Question is, are we allowed to look into it at very least? I imagine not (I can understand change would not be allowed unless there was some audit process to ensure security, but at very least see what’s there)
I won’t speak for VW, but most of these systems are built on QNX. You need a real-time operating system for a lot of these operations.
