    “Hey so the auto assist locked the wheel and the brakes, swerved into another lane, shifted to reverse and blew the transmission, then…”

      I would dearly love to know how many if statements are between me and the brakes.

      Also, being able to prove that that the CAN bus and RTOS system was air-gapped from whatever bullshit uplink to the internet ends up in there would be worth ~20K extra to me.

        If I press the brake, it should brake. ABS systems work well, but otherwise there should not be any logic built into not braking when I want to brake. Add all the automation into braking for me if there is an imminent collision detected. Extra braking is good. Less braking than I have asked for is bad.

    Woudnt it be a better idea just to offer standard EV kits to turn combustion engine cars into EVs?

    It’s unattainable for a low budget player to create and certify a car, and support it with parts for 20 years.

    Just create a kit to turn your 10 year old VW into an EV, and let VW support the parts outside of EV domain
