Clarification: this is a vulnerability in the Internet of Things component attached to the car. The car itself fine, and the vulnerability is only in devices with the silly and expensive IoT upgrade package.
- masklinn 11y ago> The car itself fine Well to an extent, if you've enabled the service any third party can remotely enable, disable or reconfigure AC and heating (which is pretty problematic for an EV), and the service also provides limited travel information (no GPS location, but travel times and distances)
- mikeash 11y agoJust a nitpick: being able to remotely turn on climate control in a non-EV would be much worse, as it could be life threatening if the car is in a garage. With an EV the worst case is you need to tow it to a charger.
