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.

Boycott Government Motors. Who do they think they are? ZIL?
lol ill treat you like any other car jacker and shot you in the face if you try to take what I paid for
Simple solution to this , don’t purchase a vehicle from them, once there sales drop low enough they will figure things out, that’s ludicrous, they should only lease vehicles then not falsely advertise selling it
Nope
No..Making unapproved changes to the operating system . that would only Void the Warrantee…and once that Happens then GM is no longer responsible for Danger to the Occupant….They Do not own your Car and you can do anything you want to it….But they can void a Warrantee that and absolve themselves from Liability….This is the only thing the can do…
it is not a monopoly they are gearing up for the future of self-automated vehicles and shade tree mechanics are not qualified to work on high tec
Ford
