    Who couldnt see this coming

    Just because you can, doesnt mean you should!

    Well, some time ago there was a post of a new rangie with the ability to control it with a mob phone. I was seriously concerned about the safety factor, and not surprised here is an example of what can happen.

    Wired shows how hackers control a Jeep

    I think I will just stick to my good old Disco 300tdi!

    Jeep advertising says its buyers have purchased an adventure, so it's certainly true!!

    Just wait for C-ITS. Basically it is a network where all cars talk to each other.... So much to go wrong I can't even start to imagine....

    Probably not much worse than the current interaction of random nodes (people)...

    Even if the system crashed a few a day, would likely still be far less than the current crashes per day..

    And today they announce trials of driverless cars in Australia. Imagine the possibilities.

    Why on earth does any car need to be connected to the internet?

    NB. This is not the same as asking why do some people want their car to be connected to the internet?

    interesting story.

    pretty hard hack imho.

    and the fix is pretty easy, keep the two systems (internet & engine/body/trans) seperate.


    for those wanting to know why they have internet:

    Chrysler Uconnect Web is a system that can provide wireless Internet connectivity in any Chrysler, Dodge, or Jeep vehicle, via a wi-fi "hot-spot". The wifi hotspot range is approximately 150 feet from the vehicle in all directions. A 3G EV-DO cellular network from Autonet Mobile provides the Internet service, and the in-vehicle device provides an ordinary wifi network with Internet connectivity.

    Uconnect also includes a Bluetooth network allowing voice activated calling on cell phones, a hard drive for media storage, a Sirius TV and satellite radio system, and a GPS system.

    UConnect Access and UConnect Pages are both new services offered as of 2013 that include an in-car 3G cellular connection, with access to in-car apps, emergency assistance, and roadside assistance. The system is a fee-based service that includes a free trial with a newly purchased vehicle.
    Current Cars:
    2013 E3 Maloo, 350kw
    2008 RRS, TDV8
    1995 VS Clubsport

    Previous Cars:
    2008 ML63, V8
    2002 VY SS Ute, 300kw
    2002 Disco 2, LS1 conversion
