Did anyone hear about this?

I just saw this on Yahoo news. Apparently some major American car companies want to make it illegal to work on your own car. Apparently this is due to the newer cars having so many computerized parts, that it could become dangerous to mess with the car's software. But in the details of this law they want to pass, it leaves little to no leeway on doing other repairs that having nothing to do with the software itself.

Is this just a way for car companies to make more money off of customers in the future? That if you buy a new car, you have no choice but to bring it in to the dealer and get screwed on overpriced labor rates? Or is it they are really "concerned" with your safety? Could this possibly be the end of future gearheads?

hmmm....

Let's get a conversation going about this. I want to hear your opinions.
