If anyone else is feeling a sense of déjà vu in reading this article — there was another in depth story about some of the technical details behind this fault in the NYT in March 2014, http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/29/business/a-florida-engineer-unlocked-the-mystery-of-gms-ignition-flaw.html http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/29/business/a-florida-enginee... .
This Pando article has re-reported the story with lots of additional details and does some great storytelling, so I'm glad to see it. Just wanted to add a note for anyone who is wondering (like I was) "whoa, haven't I seen this before?".
- mreiland 12y agoI liked the storytelling as well, the only part that annoyed me was the way he continued to drop back into the romanticizing of the characters. You've already hooked me, I want to know what happens next, I don't give a shit about the lifestory of the engineer, I only care that he's an engineer and how he got involved in the story. Other than that, I thought it was a great writeup.
