I'll bite. Aside from Tesla owners, I do not know anyone in my life today whose vehicle connects to the Internet. Of course, I mean to say I don't see how your comparison to present day is accurate.
- NullPrefix 7y ago>Aside from Tesla owners, I do not know anyone in my life today whose vehicle connects to the Internet When did the whole OnStar botnet start? I think it's earlier than 2010.
- yellow_lead 7y agoI wasn't aware of that. I suppose that would count as the car, but doesn't most car hacking occur when the component has access to i.e the CAM bus?
- Vendan 7y agoWhy do you think OnStar doesn't have access to the can bus https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10008228 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10008228

- paulmd 7y agopretty much all cars with modern head units connect to the internet for things like traffic data and software updates. as of 2017 it is no longer legal to sell a car with no backup camera, and 99.9% of cars implement that with a digitized head unit that, wait for it, connects to the internet. thus, very new-manufacture cars in 2020 do not connect to the internet, bluetooth, sometimes wifi, etc.
