That will hold true until the manufacturers realize that there will always be someone smart enough to break their software lock, and on a car, there’s always ample incentive to do so.
I wouldn’t expect them to recall. More likely that it will void all warranties and if you ever bring it to a dealership for anything they lock it and charge you for it. Or they go the DRM route and force cars to be always online to verify the software, and going offline locks out those extra features. Also possibly pushing for laws making hacking obscenely punishable.

Literally begging for people to hack your shit

Problem is there will never be a recall because of automaker’s greed, and that hacked software isn’t a danger to life … yet.

Why would they charge a customer for a hack? It’s not like the customer has any control over the software/firmware the company uses?
