Cars aren't exactly a good example on how to curb enshittification, as the car industry pioneered enshittification and found a way around regulations every time so far.

While that might be so, I can still buy original spare parts for my 25 years old car and I could still service it at official repair shop if I wanted to.

The "official repair shop" isn't the issue.

It would be third party repair shops. And amazingly you can.

Right to repair has done some good in this world

[-] Mihies@programming.dev 1 points 3 days ago

Sure, I can also drive it to any repair shop where they can buy repair parts and replace them or do whatever it takes to repair it. I can even replace the light bulbs myself, though thus part is not trivial :S

Yeah but, at least in my country, cars can't be on the road (which would be the internet in this case), without passing the periodic inspection.

They have not found a way around it every time.

They all have seat belts

They all have ODB2 ports
