Comment on Hacking Kia: Remotely Controlling Cars With Just a License Plate.
helenslunch@feddit.nl 1 month agoMan, I’ll never understand this “car is too hot for me to sit in” to be honest.
Probably because you don’t live in a hot climate?
The interior of a car here can get up to 150 degrees. And the bits and bobs inside can get even hotter. I’ve gotten second degree burns from the seatbelt.
Now imagine you’re out exercising for 3 hours in 107 degree heat. Or working for 6-8 hours in it. Getting in that car might literally kill you.

LOL. I don’t live in a hot climate? How about the middle east? Does that sound hot enough? I grew up living in a tent. A literal tent until I was about 20, then my father decided to build a house. Then that house had no power until 2008. And our weather there can get to 130+ easily. So, imagine that heat. Imagine how getting into a car would feel. Here is a photo I took of a thermometer I took in June of 2009. It was around 1 pm. I was on a military base that day. It won’t kill you, you will be fine. Open your windows and wait outside a little so you don’t melt. lol

doubtful if that thermometer worked well.
40+ °C is dangerous and can be lethal, but of course not immediately, instead as your body heats up
