I would definitely pay a premium for an open source car.

    the premium you pay is for the space to build it and the tools. the (kit) car itself is a hell of a lot cheaper.

    That feels like something we could crowd-source. I don't need the space and tools to build two open source cars, but if we had ten people in the community that wanted them, it would make sense to rent the space and buy the tools.

    I would dearly love to know how many if statements are between me and the brakes.

    Also, being able to prove that that the CAN bus and RTOS system was air-gapped from whatever bullshit uplink to the internet ends up in there would be worth ~20K extra to me.

    If I press the brake, it should brake. ABS systems work well, but otherwise there should not be any logic built into not braking when I want to brake. Add all the automation into braking for me if there is an imminent collision detected. Extra braking is good. Less braking than I have asked for is bad.
