Do you really think the average Joe has the knowledge to develop safe software for a car? Some things are okay to be proprietary imo, maybe with open documentation but not source.

You could absolutely standardize, certify, and isolate safety components

If the non-critical parts were scriptable like the infotainment system, then I could get behind it. Kind of like android I guess where you're free to tinker, but you have to enable developer mode first so regular people can't accidentally break something.
