alchresearch Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Did you see that Tesla autopilot video a few months back? Autopilot driving normally, then for no reason it swerves INTO an oncoming car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orzel Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Everything non electronic in cars was developed before 1920. Including super/turbo charging and direct injection. Material technology allowed to refine those and make affordable. But if you ask me automotive technology peaked somewhere in 90's and its gadgets and cheating emission test since. Why would you need your ECU connected to internet? Or to anything else than engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwkittie Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Yes it will become a problem and yes you should have some concern about this. Car manufacturers have relied on security through obscurity for too long already. My own personal car is 24 so I'm more worried about things falling off than hackers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 They just need to put the essential operations of the car (inputs for steering, engine, etc), on a completely different system to any system that is remotely accessible. I'm surprised that isn't a mandatory standard that car manufacturers have to comply with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGELFIRE1 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I'd love to see them hack my 4x4, thankfully there is a lack of "computers" runningn it, it's far too basic for that. Angel1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours can be hacked with screwdriver, so more direct approach. Equipment to do that is cheaper and easier to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berberis Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 It already is. BMW was hit with a spate of car thefts after a vulnerability was discovered. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2722512/How-hi-tech-cars-without-keys-thieves-driving-seat.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananaberry Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) I think your talking about these videos on YouTube. Hacking car over the internet 2015: car hacking talk how they did it 2015: Car hacking 2013 wired in to the car: But all of this has been patched in America cause they have closed the open port that allows wireless access to the CPU so their is no way to do it anymore. Till more research is done. IF YOUR YOU HAVE A CAR THAT HAS BEEN HACKED IT MIGHT STILL BE ABLE TO HACK YOUR CAR BECAUSE YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE YOUR CAR TO THE DEALER TO ALLOW THEM TO UPDATE YOUR CAR WITH OUT THE UPDATE PEOPLE CAN STILL HACK YOUR CAR.

Obelix Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Try making sure the car is actually locked... then they cannot code the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berberis Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 As highlighted by others. The benefit of keyless systems is the software can be patched, while on older cars that have physical vulnerabilities, you had no choice but to live with it.
