I wish I had the money to start an open source auto company. Like slate, but with more options.

Besides what the other user said about the owner, all new cars produced have a kill switch in them. Laws mandate certain features in cars so if someone like you makes a new company you’d have to comply with these features.

We’re catering too much to the auto industry at this point, it’s a stranglehold on the market.
