Can you explain more about Bluetooth and the bus stop killings?

I read about the bus stop accidents, but no mention of Bluetooth. Most of what I read spoke about driver negligence, if it mentioned any cause at all.

I don't know about bus stop killings but I made a connection from TX n MA to the tracking of traffic on Texas highways by monitoring bluetooth connection in vehicles. We do not use bluetooth for vehicles and keep it off on phones as we travel. Nevertheless, we suspect "they" have a workaround for this.

It is reported as a good thing to monitor the flow of traffic. But, big brother much?

This may have nothing to do with that to which Tx n Ma refers.

One must necessarily connect the dots involved.

Modern vehicles are “commanded” by a primary motherboard; a computer. All things electrically connected (steering, throttle, brakes, etc.) are run by this computer. So, too, is the modern cell-phone connection via Bluetooth. This is a feature _on the motherboard_ that allows you to make and receive phone calls and text while driving.

(Either or both) Bluetooth connections are “visible” to all devices within a specific radio-frequency radius (usually, about 35 feet from the receiver/source).

Your Bluetooth connection to your vehicle provides an open port to the vehicle master computer from whence all aspects of the vehicle can be controlled if another device is used to “hack” your vehicle; like, the Clown Car behind you as you wait at a stop.

Technology available will allow an outside device to control your vehicle without your permission.
