Any software that passes whatever local safety standard should be installable (or software that doesn't pass if the car is not being used on public roads).
Otherwise the car is not being sold, it's being rented, and all the advertising that says anything about buying is fraud.
Good luck getting a homebrew OS for tesla cars to pass those tests. I don't even know how that would work. I'd be curious to know what would happen if you would try to register and get a car through the TÜV for example that runs on custom firmware.
The whole internet runs on a homebrew os.
What does that even mean and how is it relevant here? "The internet" isn't a car or piece of hardware.
Well-developed software built by professionals to industry standards and capable of doing a very important job effectively. And homebrew. You might be surprised at what sufficiently motivated nerds are capable of.
Im sorry, I still don't know what you're talking about. What about the internet runs on homebrew and how is it related to cars?
You might not understand what homebrew in a software sense is then full stop. Homebrew in software just means not commercially made/backed.
GNU/Linux and plenty of other open source projects that power your modern life and the internet started the same way.
Homebrew software is unofficial/non-commercial software for systems which were originally set up with proprietary software (like gaming console or in this case car OSs).
That’s the definition for games consoles specifically, I know you pulled it from wiki :)
Every computer that comes preinstalled with windows also falls under your definition though as does any Mac.
Linux was also developed for or spurned by a system that was proprietary and only for educational purposes MINIX.
It's similarly hard to make an airbag or seat belt, but you can still undo the bolt without the manufacturer in another country bricking your car without any considerations of your local laws.
