After we have bought the car who owns it? Do we as owners have to be responsible for the NCAP rating of the manufacturer . Can we have the legal right to change something we dislike even though the powers that be disagree. Should we sell the car ,all changes should be disclosed and /or reversed with agreement of the new buyer. If I was to cut out the seatbelts of my car it would be illegal and I would be fined, and I would have to reinstate them before selling. Turning off LKA is not, and so it changing it to a turn on option (default) would also not be illegal. Its not beyond any manufacturer to have available software should the owner request it to change these settings ( probably at a price ) to what the " valued " customer requires. I do not see it long before there are 3rd party programmers who will be offering this service , but no doubt the cartels will be saying ,warranty violated ,
