This is another reason why I think it's incredibly foolish to own a vehicle with an internet connection. Even if the vehicle doesn't support remote control like Tesla there may be a chain of bugs that could be used to do just that or cause other problems.
That's not even considering the major privacy issues that come with such vehicles.
- perl4ever 6y agoI remember a long time ago reading about the updates to mandated car electronics and thinking I never wanted to own a car newer than...1996 maybe? And now I can't even remember what I was thinking and why. It might have been OBD-II. Even a hard core luddite gets worn down.
- driverdan 6y agoThere's a difference between local computer control and remote control. I prefer an ECU to all mechanical engines. I'm not a luddite. I understand the security and privacy implications of always on internet connected GPS tracking and remote control.
- perl4ever 6y agoSure, but ECUs existed before OBD-II. Obviously even OBD existed prior. Those standards are about communication and control.
