You seem to be saying it is owners' right to fiddle as they please and to hell with the consequences to other people. |
First I think you should back off some of your more insulting rhetoric. An apology would be nice not just to me but to others whose intelligence you want to question.
Second- I am quite aware of engine management and safety systems in modern vehicles, how they work and the advancements made in just the last few years are quite stunning. Yes I believe the systems for the most part should be open with the proper tools.
Tomorrow or next month/year or 40 years from now if someone wants to take the car out to a track and they decided to tweak the brake force distribution for stability control so they can make better speed on the exit of turn 3 then the tools should be available to do so.
Tomorrow or next month/year or 40 years from now if a person pulls a car from a barn and decides to put it back to new they ought to have the tools available to do so and that includes being able to ensure that the electronic modules are doing what they are supposed to do correctly, whether lane departure systems, adaptive cruise control, whether OEM trained mechanics are available or not.

That's called self-deprecating humor - I suspect the inference was not understood by you.
