Wasn’t there a car (I think it was a jeep cherokee) a few years ago where the CANBUS could get hacked via bluetooth and they were able to fuck with the brakes?

I also remember a GM scandal maybe a decade or two ago where the key could just fall out of the ignition and kill your car while you were driving

Even farther back there was that cool thing with the ford pinto where the gas tank would explode in a rear end collision and cook you alive

Feels like someone gives a talk about this every year at defcon.

Pretty sure your ride to defcon is already hacked by the time it drops you off there.

The US car industry has never been known for being safety conscious.
