The CIA has considered developing technology to hack the driving systems of road vehicles including cars and trucks, according to a WikiLeaks dump of agency documents released earlier today. From WikiLeaks’ press release:

As of October 2014 the CIA was also looking at infecting the vehicle control systems used by modern cars and trucks. The purpose of such control is not specified, but it would permit the CIA to engage in nearly undetectable assassinations.

Ping...

[stylin19a]

wondered why my MPG were going down....

Michael Hasting ?

The death of Michael Hastings in Los Angeles comes to mind.

....” infecting the vehicle control systems used by modern cars and trucks”

This is only (one of the reasons) why I like the older vehicles.

The state has been out of control for some time now, perhaps much longer than many realize, and its list of enemies is not one that most of us would accept as reasonable. I suspect that anyone who has ever posted an anti-globalist thought on the internet falls into a lot more places than just a basket of deplorables. But that was interesting language when you think about it.

Sinister.

[Cap Huff]

This is only the beginning of the releases.

There should be shops available across the country with skilled mechanics who can simply wire an off switch to the onboard receivers.

Either that or make sure it has no self steer, no collision avoidance, no auto park and especially no onboard microphones such as used by OnStar.

I will note for the umpteenth time that wikileaks says only that they were researching this, nothing about their success or use of it. Everything else is speculation.

[DesertRhino]

Creeps. The damage they agonist certainly do exceeds any protection. Simply the reputation for backstabbing and dishonesty they spread for America does more damage than any good it does.

Everyone wonders where our international respect went.... look here.

Owning and driving a 40 year old 4WD vehicle has its advantages.

[HarleyLady27]

...and I WILL note that I DID NOT write the article I posted...if you read the article you will find that it says they were ‘RESEARCHING’ it...

So like all good little girls and boys, please read the article posted before commenting...

Anything operating under binary language and under can be controlled by a entity.

This is further emphasized by the (Tyrannical) Necessary and Proper clause that has been bastardized way beyond the original intent.

The Anti-Federalist were right/political prophets.

[rollo tomasi]

Sorry, (And under)...

[VTenigma]

They are welcome to try. I can’t even hack my ‘84 Jetta’s mechanical Bosch fuel injection.

[HarleyLady27]

I looked up a list of aircraft crashes, just wondering if this could happen by someone like the CIA that could cause aircrafts to crash...quite a list, makes you wonder...

[fruser1]

Just wait until smart cars using accident avoidance are mandated for “safety”.

When enough are in place, the state will exchange the gas tax for the mileage tax.

Then, if your payment gets lost in the mail, or there’s some other administrative mix-up a-la EZ Pass, they can keep you from starting your vehicle until paid in full.

I got a question. Why isn’t FR using https? My browser warned me that FR login was wide open to snoopers.
