      78 developers across the globe. No one can agree on direction and half drop out in 3 months to fork it. Several forks happen and they all fail, and a few survive but become mutually incompatible.

      You download a poorly tested update via brain apt-get and lose the ability to use the letter k.

      A successful fork takes off and everyone uses it but then IBM buys it. Now big blue owns your brain and charges insane licenses fees.

          There’s already a company doing this with fall protection vests (airbags for cyclists basically). If you stop paying it stops working.

          If I was a CEO personally I would not want my company to make a product intended to stop working and increase the risk of serious injury or death if the customer stops the subscription, but I’m not a super smart tech guy so I’m sure it’ll work out fine for them.

      Probably the drivers I’d want to try to maintain and get working the least.
