This is a great example of why it's terrible to have a car that can be remote controlled including the ability to push arbitrary updates. It should not be possible to use XSS to compromise a vehicle.
- trilila 7y agoFollowing this logic, nothing should be remotely controlled because there might be security risks. Including OS updates to laptops.
- driverdan 7y agoCorrect. No one should be able to push out arbitrary code without explicit user approval.
- SquareWheel 7y agoUsers have a terrible habit of not running updates. Years of botnets suggest that automatic updates are probably the way to go.

If it weren't for Windows automatically installing updates, I imagine at least half of home users would still be vulnerable to Eternal Blue.
