| Comment | what measures have been taken to ensure that OBD systems (at least!) can't be hacked? permit me to share a quote from p. 244 of the book described at the websites below. “The growing complexity of the modern automobile is leading to massive recalls because of system failures and tragic loss of life. In just the first six months of 2014, GM was forced to recall 29 million cars, with millions more recalled from Nissan, Hyundai, Ford, Honda, and BMW. When the deeply complex electronics in a car control all of its major functions, system failures can have unintended consequences, such as the spate of problems at Toyota late in the first decade of the 21st century that resulted in the deaths of as many as 37 drivers. … Of course accidental safety issues with vehicle electronics are just part of the problem. When cars become computers, they, like all other systems, can make attractive targets for malicious hackers.” http://www.forbes.com/sites/tomgroenfeldt/2015/03/20/future-crimes-a-guide-to-tech-threats-from-hackers-china-google-and-facebook/ http://www.c-span.org/video/?324614-1/marc-goodman-future-crimes |
