What's the baseline risk? Did this triple anyone's risk, or increase it by 0.01%? Then combine that with the recall it spurs. The value of a live highway hack

Then combine that with the recall it spurs. The value of a live highway hack is very high. It got all the media to pay attention and got a commitment to a fix. You're freaked out about one car slowing down in traffic. Imagine many of the 500,000 vulnerable cars simultaneously accelerating wildly all across the nation if this was actually exploited.
What's the risk of doing nothing? Or of wasting years more with ignorable private disclosure?
- protomyth 11y ago"You're freaked out about one car slowing down in traffic." No, I'm pointing out an idiot reporter endangered his fellow citizens to create hype instead of doing the reporting in a safe environment. Your the one who seems to be trying to justify endangering people to report someone else is endangering people. The demonstration could have been done safely and effectively on a rented race track. It happens all the time when you want to test something around motor vehicles. Instead he went for cheap and sensational.
