Modern cars are constantly connected to the outside world. This makes them vulnerable to hackers who want to take control of the vehicle remotely. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology have found that IT vulnerabilities have shifted from the car’s own computer systems to apps and cloud services connected to it.
My son tried to do that in his 2023 Supra…his fucking ignition key stopped working. Apparently they tied a bunch of critical functions through the TCU to make it irreplacable.
I share the sentiment, but I prefer disabling the connected features. Physically, if possible.
