That's not the reason why I publish OSS. I also publish that software under specific licenses that impose specific obligations (e.g., making the source available to users and attribution being given to the original author(s)).
My worst close-calls were a result of ABS engaging at very low speed. In all cases, I reduced the speed to 2-3 MPH approaching a snowy intersection, but the car refused to let the wheels lock and "sink" in the snow.
Instead, it's all too happy to drift into oncoming traffic at a glacial pace. It could be specific to the various Toyotas I have owned...
I don't think that's true at all. Try running Zed or Sublime.
