Yes, it can, but i must offer caution on who you employ to do ut fir you, as there's lots of clever software engineers (most of whom can't drive the product) in the industry I work in (truck design and manufacture) desperately trying to make that impossible. Under cover of cyber security, possibly, but they are probably more worried that people who didn't write the coding, fail to realise how it works fully and inadvertently remove something that makes the vehicle safe.

I foresee, insurance companies immediately impounding crashed vehicles, and paying the manufacturer to check the software level.

I hope you’re right, but I have a sinking feeling that a lot of this stuff will be beyond the reach of all but the most skilful tuners.

My backup option is to just stick some waterproof masking tape over the cameras and radar. You’ll get an error on the dash but at least it’ll kill these dangerous and accident inducing systems.
