The right to repair is crucial for a free future, this is illustrated in our animated video "Fight to Repair." Join our campaign and inform others on the state of #RightToRepair in your country. #FightToRepair https://fsf.org/ftr

Animation from FSF's "Right to Repair" animation. A short animation clip without sound. A stylized futuristic car is showing a navigation map on the center console. The position of the car on the map is updating, and then the screen glitches and goes black, and then shows a "Reboot" status message. The driver of the vehicle, hands trying to control the steering wheel, looks alarmed. he dashboard display is then shown, the speedometer and other readings replaced with a red "autopilot" message, which also glitches. The accelerator of the car begins sinking in towards the floor without the driver's foot on it. See movie for complete context.
