Brennan....is that YOU??? You are an IDIOT if you think Hastings died from an ordinary car wreck!!
“Brennan....is that YOU???”
No, just someone who actually has read what the “car hacking” the conspiracy theorists talk about actually entails. Here’s a NY Times article on it:
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/10/business/10hack.html?_r=1&;
You can see from that article that scientists just performed some tests which showed it was possible, but “no such takeovers have been reported in the real world”. Also, though they figured out several methods to “hack” the car, they noted “This report explores how hard it is to compromise a car’s computers without having any direct physical access to the car”. They did not find some easy method to take over a car and crash it remotely without somehow gaining access to compromise the car beforehand. In fact, they didn’t even try to gain control of the car in their experiments, the furthest they got was gaining access to systems that an OnStar type service would, like unlocking doors and starting the engine:
“The researchers declined to speculate about the worse situations, such as interfering with a vehicle’s control system to make it crash.”

Hey, remind me again... what’s the link to your investigative report on the Hastings car crash? You did do some type of actual investigation, and found evidence of foul play, right? You’re not just going around calling people idiots for pointing things out to you just based on a theory you have, are you?
