You can trick your whip all you want, but GM says that car is still theirs, no matter what you’ve paid. In a hearing this week, General Motors attorney Harry Lightsey said that purchasing and paying off your GM vehicle is a license agreement and not ownership.
The U.S Copyright Office is holding a hearing on whether anyone other than the vehicle’s manufacturer has the right to alter the that car’s copyrighted software. With modern design being what it is, this means almost altering anything about the vehicle.
Mechanics and private owners are saying they need to be allowed to make repairs on their vehicles to keep them running or maintain their business. But GM is saying that anyone unauthorized altering anything about the vehicle could create problems with the software and endanger the driver. This sounds more like a business ploy on the part of GM to hold a monopoly on vehicle repairs.

Nope
Glad I’m not thinking of buying one. Now I never will.
When cars got computers they eventually were accessible to all the car companies. Thus you get behind in payments. Your car can be shut off. Pissed off employee at OnStar. Your car won’t start. Police chasing you. Police gets OnStar to cut your motor. Then the doors are locked,and you can’t get out.
This sounds pretty communistic to me.
