Interesting stuff. I guess if you could get a wireless transmitter and hook it up to the system, you could essentially remote the car to do pretty much anything.

Best part of the whole article:

Prof. Stefan Savage

That's going to be the name of the hero in the next thing I write.

That's a really interesting read. Good thing I'm not a mechanic.

heh.. it is inevitable, I mean my little Scion has like at least 3 computers in it. The Mechanic can just plug in his adapter and download all the issues with my car.

Is this harder to do than attaching a pipe bomb to the gas tank? (Yes).

Nothing to see here, move along.

And how is a pipe bomb going to help you recover the wonderfulonium, mister smart guy?

9 hours, 22 minutes. That's how long it took to get the Dr. Horrible reference uttered. I am disappointed in you all.

That being said, this probably isn't as useful for killing someone undetected as just using a pipebomb. It WOULD be useful for kidnapping someone though.
