Hyundai wants loniq 5 customers to pay for cybersecurity patch in baffling move

Sure, that could be a decent legal regime. The first step to enabling it would be releasing the source code and system documentation for the product they've sold, so that it's even possible for anyone else besides themselves to fix it. Until then it's a black box the company has chosen to retain responsibility for. And frankly regulators should be making sure they support the 20-40 years of useful life we generally expect from automobiles.

I understand that development costs are not free, and there's extra hardware involved, but IMO they should take this as marketing cost.

It's a defect. We should fix it by making them do a recall.
