> The requirements, pushed by two national auto shop lobbying groups, would make vehicles more vulnerable to cyberattacks
Is this a real concern? God, it makes me glad I drive a vehicle that's as close to analogue as possible. As someone who works on production SaaS all day, there's no way I want to trust my life to anything like that.
If there is going to be a vulnerability, it's going to be there regardless of the right to repair provisions. The RTR-specific features would only allow data access under very specific conditions and with consent of the user (by for example pushing a physical button, so it can't be triggered remotely).
