I am not so sure this is so good. What you are saying is it is up to the car manufacturer to decide what is good for not only grandma, but everyone else.
What if I want to tinker or fix the car my self. Without the info/protocalls I cannot do that. To me it seems equivilent to saying that Compaq/HP should make all computers and not release anything about any new protocalls they develop in efforts to speed up thier machines. We dont need to know whats going on, it is just better for us. Keep it all proprietary.
If you do not want to know what is happening in your car, fine. But I do and the information should be freely available.
