All the ECU reprogramming "tuners" have been treating cars like open source for a while now. Any old car has a limited amount of SW too, and people have simply switched parts around and hacked them however they see fit.
Basically, we already live a reality where dangerous machines like cars have been hacked and are operated on the street among us.
This is the same argument that was being made that FOSS is less secure because it's open in the 90s or 2000s. Yet the most of critical infra today runs on open source.
Don't you think it'd be safer if these tuners had access to the source code?
