Comment on Hacking Kia: Remotely Controlling Cars With Just a License Plate.
Slatlun@lemmy.ml 2 days agoI think the point is that there isn’t a good enough reason to put internet in a car that negates the risk of it.
It is like adding lead to food. It’s a cheap sweetener with no calories. You can argue that cheap sweeteners aren’t important to you, but I don’t think you can argue that it isn’t a good reason. It just isn’t a good enough reason to negate the risk.

if its not a good enough reason, that’s literally not a good reason

“Not good enough” = not important to you
“Literally no good reason” = There’s absolutely no benefit.
These are not the same.

you have misunderstood something.
not good enough means the downsides highly, severely outweigh the upsides. It’s not that “I wouldn’t use it and then you shouldn’t have it either”, it’s that there are very good reasons to not have these in my car, or anyone’s really, in a way where they cannot be removed!
