Pwn2Roll: Who Needs a 599€ Remote When You Have wheelchair.py?

A 599€ wheelchair remote that sends a handful of Bluetooth commands. A 99€ app feature that does exactly what the 599€ hardware does. A speed upgrade from 6 to 8.5 km/h locked behind a 99€ paywall - because apparently catching the bus is a premium feature. Welcome to the wonderful world of DRM in assistive devices, where already expensive basic mobility costs extra and comes with in-app purchases! And because hackers gonna hack, this just could not be left alone.
