Now imagine if the EV detects you are intoxicated by simply listening in on your conversations and parks itself on the side. Who would want a car like this? Parents with sons and daughters hitting the roads for the first time might be keen. Easily defeated by voiding warranty and/or road worthiness if it has been tampered with. It'll be manufacturers and hackers playing cat and mouse.

They already have that as a lock out for convicted DUI drivers. Not unlike a roadside RBT but in your car, it won't start if you're over the limit.

There are fines for tampering with catalytic converters, DPF filters, EGR, etc, but people still do it and are open about it on many forums, so it is already happening, with EGR, DPF delete, performance tunes, aftermarket parts etc, just for one example, I dont think you will find many Rangers with aftermarket rims that have not been tampered with, I would say the same would be for most other manufacturers vehicles out there, most just return to stock for warranty issues and roadworthy if needed, it has always been like that in the past and will be the same well into the future. Like you say it will be a cat and mouse, "you make it, we will break it". Its 1 thing to stop drunk drivers and dangerous drivers, but we all know its not going to stop there, they will have the means to stop you for any reason they want, they will be immobilising your car because you have not paid a parking fine, were late with your land rates, didn't pay your tax on time whatever the government wants to punish you for they now can. |

I'm also very curious about how secure automotive systems are as well, I don't think they've had the same level of dramas the IT industry has had with cyber security issues.

There probably isn't the same level of development around securing automotive systems as there is with say anything the IT industry does for its bread and butter. We saw what JasonACT did to the ICC in Falcons with a paperclip and a bandaid. |

One of the guys at work had one fitted. They had cameras fitted to it, so each time you blow in it, it will show a picture of who did it. I think he said it can also go off whilst you are driving, then you have x minutes to pull over and blow into it.

Is it true that Ferrari currently has some sort of system to monitor for unapproved modifications? Thought I saw recently that they made smoke come out the exhaust if you tried to do something that they didn't approve, but wasn't sure if it was a hoax.

This is quite common in the UK, with the majority of vehicles parked outside.A lot of high end vehicles are nicked this way.Cloning the keys is very common & a lot tend to leave their keys on a hall way table.I have always had mine in Faraday bags.

Ford will be putting similar into the Ranger. Try to modify it in any way, it turns into a Holden Colorado.
