car manufacturers to fix their poor security
“oh no, your car got stolen…here’s another car for you to buy”
We need a global system of digital ID that simply bricks any car reported stolen.
Comment on Flipper Zero, Car Thieves, and a Brewing Security Crisis: What’s Really Going On?
pivot_root@lemmy.world 6 days agoFrankly insurance companies need to be holding the car manufacturer’s feet to the fire by not insuring cars that can be trivially stolen like this.
The governments should be, too.
Instead, some countries are taking the approach of banning Flipper Zeros or restricting their sale instead. That’s like outlawing flathead screwdrivers because you can use them to pop improperly-installed doors off of their hinges.
It’s on the car manufacturers to fix their poor security, not on tool suppliers to not make tools.

Yeah, because there’s no way remotely brickable cars could ever be abused by the manufacturers.

Yeah, you can ban flipper, but then someone is going to use a raspberry pi zero with a SDR hat, or an arduino, or an old android phone, or a wifi router and battery pack.
