That excuse is a big part of this video. The whole remote attacks thing is nonsense, and clearly not the real reason the Biden admin is telling automakers to ignore the law. Did you watch the video?

I did not I was busy; I guess I need to read the legislation. It sounds like the law would require over the air update mechanisms/over the air patching to be opened up based on the NHTSA's comments.

But, the video makes it out to be that this is a ploy/fear mongering over what a shop would do to your car's software.

So which it is, does the law require an insecure point of access pre-repair which could be exploited by remote hackers or is it FUD about what might happen after a repair is physically performed.
