Forget hacking accounts, computers or mobile devices - security engineers from Indiana have managed to hack the software inside the Toyota Prius and Ford Escape. Using a laptop wirelessly connected to the car's electronics, Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek were able to remotely control the brakes, the accelerate, change the speedometer, switch the headlights on and off, tighten the seatbelts and even blast the horn. The project was funded by a grant from the U.S Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to highlight the security risks affecting modern-day cars. Miller, a security engineer at Twitter, and Valasek, Director of Security Intelligence at IOActive, are due to officially announce their findings at the Def Con 21 conference in Vegas the weekend of the 1-3 Augus

Michael Hastings...
Watch these two disappear soon, considering what they know.
so I probably should get a car NOW to avoid the black boxes, but of course the govt could always require one later....
Michael Hastings was no doubt murdered by government agents using this type of technology.
No.
One problem with your scenario.
Explosive residue would be present on the pieces of the car.
Investigators “in on it” would take care of that problem, of course. But if you accept that scenario, then you can’t take the results of any investigation as truth.
Unless of course it matches the conclusion you have yourself jumped to.

I have a stick shift. Would a hacker be able to override my changing shifts?

Meanwhile, my brother claims I am an embarrassment to HIM because I still drive my 1976 truck & my 1979 station wagon.
Nice try, but the fire would destroy your mythical residues. But we understand why you jumped in with your effort on the oligarchs’ behalf. The more you do that the more obvious it becomes about for whom you work FR.

Please substantiate your no with an explanation or a link.
Yes, those of us paid off by the Bilderbergers have a good life.
I have a good friend who is an arson investigator. I ran his theory by you, and he got a really good laugh.
Thanks.
And you actually thought folks would believe you with that little deception? Bwahahaha, and thanks, I can always use a good laugh.
Don’t be confused between steering assist (aka power steering) and actual steering linkage.
Take a look under the hood, you’ll see all the traditional mechanism there connecting the steering column shaft to the uprights via the rack and pinion and tie rods.
