Perhaps, it might already be lurking in your car right now.

Enjoy your drive! 🫠

      Exactly - not only can all modern cars remotely be accessed, anyone with access to those [insecure] maintenance pages could hypothetically:

      • Track you on the GPS
      • List your regular journeys
      • Use the cameras to see who is in the car right now
      • Wait for you to pass a certain remote area on one of your regular journeys
      • Disable the car
      • Unlock the doors
      • Turn on the interior light

      At that point, I wonder what access the car has to affect whether the driver’s phone can make a call…

      Isn’t that the same one we found out that most of the data being recorded wasn’t from the cars but data that the sales/maintenance workers were allowed to record when you were at the dealership and they manufactures/dealers could legally sell it do to the contracts. It’s horrible that they do it, but the cars weren’t tracking your sex life, and trying to figure out if you were a lesbian, or if you were even male/female. The dealership was just able to mark information like that down and sell it.

      It’s one more reason buying cars direct from the manufacturer for those who choose to should be allowed and not banned by law like states such as Florida have done. We don’t need more middlemen between producer and consumer. It usually only raises prices and creates more privacy issues.
