When somebody installs Linux on their computer without knowing what they are doing they might make break their computer. When somebody tries to install after-market self-driving equipment in their car without knowing what they are doing they could easily kill people.

That's really a bullshit comparison. It either works, or it does not. That's quite literally the same as oem systems. It either works, or throws an error and does not.
Yeah and Many people probably don’t want a car that’s “self driving” (or insert your definition of what OpenPilot does) to “throw an error” while going down the highway. That’s not safe for the car or the nearby drivers.
It either works, or throws an error and does not.

It controls your throttle and steering so it appears there may be other errors that could occur.

You’re missing the huge “works incorrectly” space of outputs.
