I noticed in the details of my last car insurance policy that any tampering with the ‘advance driver aids’ software would invalidate the policy / make you liable for any third party costs they paid, so insurance companies are obviously concerned with people doing that.
No doubt but part of the skill of hacking software is erasing the record of the hack.
Anyway I suspect that the trend towards "nanny cars" will increase the temptation to hack. In my case it was just an emissions thing and not a safety thing.
