If I have to buy a modern car (which means any EV unless conversion of an old one), I want one built with free or libre open source software. How long will I have to wait?
@hehemrin Indefinitely if you want a regular car from one of the big manufacturers. Your only hope might be if someone designs a conversion kit based on commercial industrial motors and controllers that use #foss
@hehemrin I'm not an engineer but brushless DC motors are widely used in industry with controllers whose software can be tweaked to suit the application. Not sure if they are open enough to release the source though, or to make it easy to flash new software into them.
