It’s not a thing a car should require, and even for nice-to-have value-add features, it should be tightly secured, not only from external access but from the manufacturer.

The comical part was that anyone could go through a completely vanilla registration workflow and become a registered dealer. What the hell were they thinking?
You don’t have to care about AI safety when you’re unconcerned over civilian casualties and false positives.
From a UX perspective, those things are cancer.
And I’m behind four firewalls!
Which also has nothing to do with what’s being discussed.
I got an earlier variant purporting to be from a friend who was stuck in London, had their wallet stolen, and needed cash wired to them so they could get home. That was remotely plausible based on my friend’s recent travels. I replied asking them to tell me where and when we first met and what we did the following day. They tried going back to reciting their story but I wouldn’t move until I knew it was really them. Fucking scum. They should be made to drink cold hotdog water that Satan’s hemorrhoids have been soaking in.
Another verification that works is “I’ll call you, let’s talk. What number can I reach you on?” They’ll usually drop contact at that point.
Nothing deep about it.
It’s really not a hard screening algorithm: do I know this person, or have I done business with this company? OK, does the URL check out? Then I’ll respond to that person’s email or go log into that company’s website, not using a link from the message I received. Otherwise, it’s spam.
Also, there are no pictures of my dick online, or of me having sex. Anyone claiming otherwise doesn’t know me. Nice and easy.
I’m sure, for a price, someone could set you up with a placebo stick shift.
Accuracy, consistency, explainability.
The “selling things online” idea had been tried repeatedly before Amazon, and always failed. What Bezos did was find a way to actually (eventually) make money at it. That was a business strategy tour de force that was quite impressively executed. That’s not to say that Bezos is a good employer or a nice person. But it’s often the case that it’s not the originality of the idea that matters, as much as how it’s executed.
Time for a law to be passed that kills off this bad idea permanently.
The main cause of fatal accidents is driver distraction. Anything that adds to it is moving in the wrong direction.
They should also ban the use of tablet computers in place of proper displays and controls in vehicles.
2FA where one of the factors is Bluetooth to the fob might be OK, assuming the Bluetooth link is secured in some way.
