Please put the words 'rerun' or '2016' in brackets right on the title. Otherwise, it borders on misleading.

This is so screwed up. I wish cars, especially, would go back to simple engineering. It's crazy that someone can hack your car and kill you.

If hackers can do all of this, just imagine what the intelligence apparatus can do to your car :)

10:11 That silence is the "We hold onto it until there is a good time to show our cards" silence.

Zero Days + Machine Learning/AI capabilities is gonna make this world a crazy place to live in.
I'm finding a remote mountain and becoming a hermit. Fvck this $h!t.

That last bit was the truth. There really is no situation that a cop cannot make worse.

The fact Chrysler new about it and then IGNORED it until it was publicly exposed is absolutely appalling. During that time, someone with malicious intent like terrorists could've figured that out and wiped out a million cars all because they wanted to downplay it and ignore it until it was publicized. Great company!

We never should've put computers in our cars. That was a dumb idea.

I am now curious to know if that cargo ship smashing the bridge here in America was a zero day exploit because within a matter of days we had another cargo ship lose power the same day but the tugs around the ship saved the day.

I am a automotive technician, you know, years ago we were call grease monkeys. But anyway, I knew this a long time ago. Many car thefts are done with hacked security. The car is unlocked and driven away in the same amount of time the owner could use the key fob and drive away. If the car still had key only access it would be harder to steal.
Being able to take over the control of the car is scary.

If someone working on their spare time, with limited resources, has found a

All we need is a Synthwave fashion/music/aesthetic and cybernetic implants and our descent into Cyberpunk dystopia will be complete.

I have a degree in Cybersec. I forget what people know and dont know about software/hacking in general. Id encourage everybody to understand best practices and why they are that way at least.

[joshpcausey]

I'm not saying those Chinese guys were selling zeros days but they didn't looks like they were being honest lol

[InfamousSabreMods]

Dont even need to be a hacker to find flaws in Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge's software

[beardown]

This whole thing was crazy! But that car hacking piece is freaking scary!

[YouTubeHunter]

I know how to fix this. Just buy an older cheap car. Fixed!

[agingmillennialmainer]

Chinese spies in letterman jackets. Amazing.
