I worked for a modern car rental company where you just need to download an app to drive a car.
The tech was super interesting, there are vendors that sell a box with both gsm and ble interfaces and the cars are fitted with these.
You can send messages through ble or their cloud api / gsm.
The app needed to first acquire a token to successfully establish a ble connection.
I'm not saying you can't buffer overflow through ble messages but at least the authentication was solid.

- grepfru_it 4y agoZipcar was hilariously easy to bypass/override with physical access. I had access to a local Volvo for almost 3 years until I stopped checking. I never drove the car because of gps and the proliferation of cameras, but I would store random things in the trunk when I was passing by the area
- dubswithus 4y agoThe fuck?
- jdmoreira 4y agoNo, not Zipcar
