I don’t want to sell all my data and privacy to car companies so I can have a warm car from a distance.

If you want to make that trade you guys go ahead. Me: bad trade.




And I find it a bad trade NOW. I can't imagine what it's gonna be like in 10 years once they don't push security updates and the Kia Boys can use years old security bugs to steal your car.


Oh yea. They toute “cars as technology platforms” but these are the organizations who couldn’t even deliver updates over-the-air until Tesla shamed them. The attack surface of entire product lines that have huge utility but no security is going to be epic.

Just look at this garbage. Not one mention of any of the issues or security problems these companies are condemning themselves to, not to mention the consumers…

Vehicles can last 10-20 years, but updates from manufacturers top out at 5-7 and are almost exclusively closed source and lawsuit / litigation heavy and willing.

It is kill box territory.
