A guy who actually owns a previous model hybrid showed me what Adaptive software is ( on a computer game actually) many months ago. The cars software isn't adaptive as far as I can tell. It is consistent. It does not respond differently to different drivers or driving styles after a period of time or patterned use.

AS for hacks and such- sounds like a good idea to really mess up a car to me. But then again, I don't know anything about "hacking."
