Default Re: Big Brother... errr... Daddy in the car?

Chips in the keys are what control everything, just like they do for many vehicles now. Once the tools to be able to read (and program!) the keys become more available, the ability to hack them will increase dramatically.

I wasn't aware that Corvettes offered speed-limiting keys.... have to check those out.

Just priced one out trying to find info on those keys... amazing what you can get in a car for a mere US$70k...
