What is coding a car?
One of my friends is really into tinkering with tech gadgets and talked about how they will try coding their car. I didn’t ask, but I don’t get what that means. What is coding a car?

It never hurts to ask! Coding a car generally involves modifying the software of your vehicle’s on-board computer to alter, change, or remove certain features or capabilities.
Sometimes these changes can look like changing the tone of a specific alert from your car or programming your** lights to blink or dim** in a certain way.
Certain risks can come with car coding, however. If one is unfamiliar with car tech, there’s a chance codes may be altered in ways ruin certain vehicle functions and potentially cause an accident.
