"most developers from Asia do not really expect or care about privacy" -> You did a casual racism there, unless you can back up your claim with non-anecdotal evidence.
He said clearly that he talks from experience. Do you want a peer-reviewed paper to back his claim?
Most development at very large companies happens by hordes of people who call themselves developers but do not care about development and barely understand anything they are doing. Most coding happens by copying and pasting from Stack* and then restarting the application hundreds of times and tinkering with the code mindlessly until it happens to work. Anything besides getting the "happy path" (sic!) to work is a sec…
How is this isolated to Asia? As a developer in the USA, I’ve seen prioritization of deadlines over quality in nearly every org I’ve worked at. We would probably all love to hand write encryption algorithms for data transfer, or beautiful animations on user interactions, or perfectly graceful fault handling, or 100% test coverage. The reality is that kind of work takes far longer than most employers are willing to wa…

Yikes. Funny that you mention this, because it’s precisely the kind of thing that one would expect from this sort of “talent”, and not from real engineers.
No. One does not hand-write encryption algorithms, unless they are Daniel Bernstein or similar.

There was post some years ago how teslas code is a mess. Do you attribute the quality of that code to blue eyed Europeans?
Asian cultures’ have similarly cavalier attitude towards privacy.
Noone said anything about races. Asia is a continent.
What would be the downside of Hyundai just making all the info in this blog post public info? They could start fostering an app ecosystem for their cars. And it would be an extra selling point for their cars (especially if there are apps that won't run in other cars). And it might even turn into a new revenue stream by building an app store.
Toyota, for example, charges something like $150 for a single satnav maps update, although now CarPlay/Android Auto is a standard feature and has tanked that market.

No, we attribute that to startup culture’s cavalier attitude towards code quality. Asian cultures’ have similarly cavalier attitude towards privacy. Noone said anything about races. Asia is a continent.

Continents don't have cultures (and neither do ethnicities), people do. So what is your point again?
Thus the claim that the original comment was racist is false in my opinion.
Another argument against this claim would be the fact that Asian software engineers (here “Asian” is used in the racial sense) raised in Western countries with a strong culture of privacy, seem to be just as privacy conscious as their Caucasian counterparts.

Unfortunately for EVs most of the interesting stuff isn't standardised. If it was, life would be much easier.
Sorry, I missed that point about EV, I didn't expect OBD-Ii PIDs and EV in the same sentence.
