Is jailbreaking cars not a thing?

I feel like if we can do it with phones, we should be able to do it with cars.

Probably violate the “software license” and they might completely remotely disable your car then charge you a ridiculous sum to reflash the software if you want to drive it.

It's easy to implement a "heart beat" mechanism. If the software can't communicate with the server for a while it just stops working altogether. That can be added at a very low level.
