Back in 1860 nobody had even conceived of an automobile or the telephone.
They had plenty of laws for cutting telegraph lines, which did exist at the time.
When the telephone and automobile were each widely deployed, laws were created to address the social affects brought on by these advances in technology such as negligent vehicle operation and wiretapping.
The fact that the laws Had to evolve was a result of society recognizing the utility these inventions brought to bear.
The law is not a static thing, it is constantly evolving to match the needs and whims of society.
Insurance companies, on the other hand will require standardized testing at some point for policies to be granted. I suspect that the car makers have been developing such standards with the insurance companies, as such the law will have to catch up.
My prediction is: Ultimately, autonomous cars will be subject to two standards: 1) if the on board computer/data logger indicates there was user intervention, and 2) if there was no user intervention.

After reading the post in its entirety, i began to: 1) Piss my pants and then 2) SHIT my pants and then 3) SHIT blood and then 4) not give a shit any more.
Remember the MiniDisk? The UMD is just a MiniDisk with a Mini DVD and a rounded case. When The MiniDisk came out, it was touted by Sony as the replacement for the Cassette Tape.
The UMD format has a lot money invested in it, for better or worse, and will not go away. The only thing that will change will be the disk element. It will be a BluRay Disk in the next gen & have a third corner or some other bullshit.
When you first get your license, that is the worst time to be speeding or driving crazy - I remember. I think that this is a usable tool for responsible parents to curb the retarded shit that happens when kids get their licenses. Too many die.
But, what would be even more useful for a parent is to be able to prevent the kid from driving drunk or high if you knew whose house they were at that night by simply going to a website, and inputting a time after which they could not start the car.
I'm a lawyer who has to deal with many IT/IP issues on a weekly if not daily basis. This is exactly the wrong place to ask for or have legal advice rendered, and what I say below is NOT to be construed as legal advice either.
As stated earlier, and in other posts, you have essentially answered your own question. The answer depends on how persuasive you are. Management is not going to allow even antiquated code out to pasture in this manner if you cannot rationalize a business (ie: MONEY) reason that they should permit it. Without knowing your industry, product or application I have little to go on, but management in my company (including myself) would rather play it safe & not cannibalize their market by permitting the world access to something they paid for.
Finally: If you don't get the answer you like, don't contravene management. You will pay for it in some fashion.

Or can they?

so what?
This is just another gimmick to market bullshit that people do not need but think they want.
This is capitalism.
Don't swallow this bullshit.
