It really depends what you are modifying. By all means have a custom entertainment system and I detest the software locked features such as heated seats.

If you are messing with safety critical software then it is no help to me that you are prosecuted for negligence if I am killed.

Even if your safety critical software works it still is negligent, there should be some barrier to entry for such software. It shouldn't be out there in the wild made by whoever with no oversight.

Do you think you should be allowed to change your brake pads? How about bleed your brake lines?
Yes, I would trust people to generally be competent enough.

Writing your own self driving software, go ahead, as long as your driving on private land I have no issue.

But nobody is writing self-driving software. They are jail breaking the existing software.
There is someone posting about exactly that on this post.
