So far there's subscriptions for cruise control, adaptive beams, various navigation options, apple/google integration and my favorite, dual-zone climate.

What law do you break? I know it won't be plausible for the general public because of warranties and all that.

And some copyright things or something else will prevent repair shops from jailbreaking it for you.

But what would prevent you legally from jailbreaking your own car?

Nothing. And if they tried, you could sue.

If that was true, in the courts, then every jail broken iPhone user is a felon. Maybe that's true, maybe not, it doesn't matter because it's unenforceable and the govt doesn't give a fuck.
