     @Desert_0asis @deprecated_ii @BroDrillard sure, but "safety features" like auto-on lights sell.

     @deprecated_ii @sickburnbro @BroDrillard Absolutely. it should just be a relay. it's pretty fucking obvious when a bulb goes out. then again the apes we share the world with don't ever walk around their car and just drive ever onward.

     @sickburnbro @BroDrillard @Desert_0asis I don't think the engine control unit should care about your headlights

     @deprecated_ii @BroDrillard @Desert_0asis for sure. But what I'm saying is - all these systems can be improved to a degree that would make everyone happy. It's just that there is no incentive to do that right now.

     @sickburnbro @BroDrillard @Desert_0asis my position on this sort of thing is engineers have an ethical duty to the downstream customer, and they have been failing in that duty for decades
     
     automotive engineering is straight up bad and often unsafe

     @deprecated_ii @BroDrillard @Desert_0asis for sure: "right to repair" - for that to even be made into a law shows how screwed up things are.
