Hackers find ways to screw up new cars

This makes me VERY glad that all the cars I own are controlled by me, not some retarded computer

Some say that he's driven over more Covenant than he's shot, and that his grenades aren't where you'd expect them to be...

Well hopefully its only limited to having to be plugged in to the diagnostic port. That's what is so horrible about most newer cars, everything is starting to be controlled by electronics making it harder for people like us to work on them and do our own upgrades.

Yeah, but think about how many newer cars have hidden diag ports. The article talks about controlling things wirelessly. If you could hide something up under the dash you could easily kill someone. Hell, a laptop under the seat wouldn't really look suspect if you think about it.

yeah good point. I am beginning to understand people less and less each day.

That's why I love my car. If anyone is going to kill me in my car, it's going to be me, not some hacker with anger issues. New cars rely too much on computers. It could be because too many people try taking manufacturers to court because they can't drive. Reduced driving ability = electronic training wheels. It's just that hackers can make the training wheels kill you now.
