This isn't about normal wear-and-tear but a fundamental security design flaw that allows thieves to steal these cars with a $25 device exploiting the CAN bus - more akin to GM shipping cars with a master key hidden under the floor mat than a pickable lock.
- throwawayoldie 1y agoExcept even more egregious, because if your GM car had a master key under the floor mat, you could just remove it yourself and throw it down a handy storm sewer.
- userbinator 1y agoThe article claims it's a $20k device. Claiming it is a "security design flaw" is absurd paranoia, the same paranoia that causes manufacturers to destroy the aftermarket and fight right-to-repair in their quest for "security".
