Could you elaborate? Communication is itself a connection. The complaint isn't that the cars are connected to the internet, it's that they're connected and communicating with each other.
In an oversimplified system where Car A broadcasts "I'm braking" allowing Car B to slow down and avoid a collision, the attack vector is a simulated "I'm braking" message that causes car B to slow down/stop even though Car A is not braking (or may not even exist).
- dylan604 2y agoMaybe I missed the meaning, but with all of the other threads about connected cars, it's all about connected to the internet. Broadcasting current mode of operation doesn't really seem connected in the same way to me. Sure, it might be a way to "attack" another car by sending the same signal, but that's totally different from someone accessing the car remotely for other purposes. If you fake a hard braking signal, to my car, then my car will respond by slowing down and then transmitting that as well to other cars.
