   #Tesla adds #CodeSigning to firmware updates. Does that mean Tesla cars are now #DRM encumbered?

     I'd like the freedom to examine and modify the code in my #Tesla, the same way I have the freedom to adjust the carburetor in my Ford

     ♻ @tylerburtonca: @BobJonkman perhaps, but I'd rather my car not get a malicious firmware update 😊 ¶ via #Twitter

     @tylerburtonca #CodeSigning is a good thing; @MikeGerwitz has a solution allowing malware protection and hacking http://sn.jonkman.ca/conversation/671323#notice-1073923

     I agree that driving is not a right, but tinkering with your hardware and software is a right, often superseded by Technical Protection Measures. Perhaps modified car software needs to be certified before road use, as automobiles need to be mechanically certified. But that shouldn't prevent me from tinkering in the first place.
