I feel like that's why the Right to Repair lawsuits against John Deere are a huge deal going on now and will set a precedent for the public's relationship with automakers going forward.Which will become harder and harder to do. But that's a solution.
You raise a great point. But it wouldn't be the first time OEMs made a vehicle with special features that aren't available to the general public. Which will be even easier to do when it's just a software update away.

You mean next week I thinkSomething that crossed my mind yesterday while driving my 21 yr old truck that has a manual transmission. At some point in the future (30-40 years?), only really old people are going to know how to drive a vehicle with manual transmission.
As much as I enjoy/prefer driving a stick, the skill is just not necessary, and becoming akin to having a manual choke or a spark advance lever... Just not needed anymore..Something that crossed my mind yesterday while driving my 21 yr old truck that has a manual transmission.

Nah, those were necessary evils. A manual tranny actually ENHANCES the driving experience, especially when paired with a mechanical throttle instead of neutered drive by wire crap.As much as I enjoy/prefer driving a stick, the skill is just not necessary, and becoming akin to having a manual choke or a spark advance lever...

I still have 1 pos samurai that I may keep around, but that has definitely crossed my mind. My kids are 7 and 5 and I do want them to at least know what a manual transmission is...Something that crossed my mind yesterday while driving my 21 yr old truck that has a manual transmission.
