[kwlug-disc] And so it begins...

[B.S.]

The sad part is ... such access (via cell, even) should never have been enabled or designed in in the first place. Even wi-fi access is doubtful - at least post-delivery. Such capability would have to have been engineered in, passed QA, let alone the spec writers, approval checkpoints ... Bad idea all around. If the first rule of security is physical security (door locks - NOT EXTERNALLY CONTROLLABLE!), the second rule ...

Never mind auto-alerts ... your car has been accessed, if this is unexpected ...

google/gmail/android does this - this is a solved problem.


Nobody should think it's only Fiat Chrysler with the ability.


I am so minded of the kerfuffle some years back about NSA requiring a back door to a crypto chip. (I forget the details.)
