      Likely not. A few years ago, there were articles and documentaries made about farmers buying hacking kits from Russian forums in order to jailbreak their John Deere tractors to repair themselves because the cost and wait times for official service were unacceptable

    Business idea trade-offer

    A car with a ‘virtual’ body that can change paint jobs on the fly. Like Green Hornet. Except we call them “skins”, and we also sell “battle driving passes” where you unlock new skins after doing different things, like filling up a full tank 3 times, driving at 90MPH for 20 minutes, and getting new tires installed.

    Those car systems have so many vulnerabilities it’s trivial to hack past any DRM.
