    Dont know much about anything but it would not surprise me if it was some Bosch engineers who originaally hinted all those engineers of what could be done with their systems if they just listen some states of other car systems. Afterall, it’s their injection systems etc. almost every diesel manuf used/uses.

      That wouldn’t even need to be malicious, but it definitely could be.

      I could see a selling point being, oh ya you can monitor the system and then adjust things for more power, but it’ll be dirtier.

      And then at that point it’s up to the OEM to keep it within regulations, but they could offer different power modes within limits.

      Then everyone’s like oh this would make cheating so easy!
