You do not want root on your self driving car.

Or to put it differently, I don't want to be driving on the same road as you with your rooted self driving car. You can be great sysadmin/coder, tesla guys may be too, but both of you changing random stuff without any communication with each other.. I've seen enough servers.

It's one thing to remove the warning stickers from a gas-fire oven, its another when you're commanding several thousand pounds of unintentional killing machine.

Keep your rooting to your phones.

All I want in a modern car is to have nothing smart in it that I'd _need_ (or, want) to root...
