I'm confused, partly out of my own ignorance but after looking at their site I'm still none the wiser. Do modern cars essentially have some interface that means you can control them electronically? Is this a public interface, like an official standard shared between brands or are they adapting per-brand? Or perhaps even revere-engineering the car's internals in some hacky way? What about from the car manufactures, do they support such things? Would installing this affect your Car's warranty? Are you "supposed to do this"?
And what's their safety record? I guess if they're not saying, it's not something they want to talk about. Or worse, they don't even know because I doubt users are self-reporting.
So many questions. I spent some time on their site but got frustrated and bounced before i could get any real information. It's just talks 'car compatibility' and 'buy now'. Seems to present as a magic box you should just trust.
And while I'm sure I could find answers the fact that these things aren't front-and-center, at least to me, doesn't send the right message. I don't want to just "plug in and go" with something so safety critical. Seems to market as more toy/gadget than "safety first".
Thanks. I guess given the target market you’re just supposed to know that, I’ll accept that.
Cool that that exists. I’m actually surprised that car manufactures support opening up control like that. Or is this essentially a private interface for implementers; how much are end-users supposed to be messing around with internals like this?
I’ll maintain that as someone that is largely ignorant in this space their website did little to give me confidence that they care about these kinds of questions. That maker’s attitude works for a gadget that drives around your lawn, but jars with reality at 60 mph.

Same with Tesla, mind.
