On that note, do you reckon you could get someone to remotely drive you home from the pub? I sense a business opportunity here...
Probably one of the few positive things i can think of for driverless cars.
basically a personal taxi. Just as long as you can override them and take manual controlR8VXF said:

Saw this in action recently, although very clever I wouldn't want it as it seems too easy for someone to gain access to all the car's systems. It also records every journey in detail with loads of vehicle info attached.

Why do you need Internet in your car anyway.
Anything can be vunerable.
I suppose the likes of BMW, Merc and plenty of others like to sell remote assist services in case of accidents, etc. They can monitor things like airbag deployment, call your car and dispatch emergency services if required. Been around for years.Anything can be vunerable.
I guess. I just think cars are trying to be too clever sometimes.
Think in this case it's a case of poor security allowing the vunerability to be exploited. Working in IT as my day job I see it often; any time there's something that someone can hack into or modify then SOMEONE will at some point.

Absolutely stupid designers in my opinion that chose to physically connect the critical vehicle control systems to the internet/entertainment systems. What possible need is there to do that?? Should be physically separate. The entertainment system can use its own accelerometers and physical sensors to report a crash if needed, with no ability to change steering/brakes.

Looks like the common weakness is HVAC, which needs to display information on the infotainment system, hence the interconnect...Edited by TurricanII on Wednesday 22 July 20:55
