      They already do this with farming equipment.

      They have blueprints to build your own tractor with DIY materials from the hardware store.

      Although open source cars might lead to tons of safety issues…

        They said open source, not DIY.

        Fully DIY stuff is usually a bad idea. Production lines have a purpose. Also when a component goes out of stock it usually becomes a hassle.

        Repairability and spare parts are way more important

      Might be easier to start with something “simpler” like the ECU or infotainment unit.

      I feel like this would be more helpful than a lot of things
