This is what I have never understood about 'clickwrap' on hardware (like my car).

I have already bought it...shopped, signed a contract, paid for it, agreed with a bank in some cases on financing it...before I encoutner or have access the the licensing agreement.

If I disagree with licensing can I juts take it back? Am I just precluded from using my smart driving features?

I bought it, you don't get to establish rules after the fact...

There used to be (possibly apocryphal but seemingly true) stories about people who manage to get the OEM cost of Windows refunded on a new computer purchase by telling Microsoft they did not agree with the terms. They were going to install Linux on it anyway so didn’t need it.

I’m not sure if it was official policy (out of fear that clickwrap isn’t enforceable if you can’t opt out) or if it was just worth it to pay off people who went to that much effort, but either way good for them.

There was a case in Italy the other day. Lenovo fought hard but had to pay, plus €20,000 damages for being a PITA.
