A couple things here don't add up for me. I originally stumbled across this from Robinhood. Then had to find the article to get a link.
- 75 yr old men dont often do over 100.
- 75 yr old men are less likely to do a hit and run.
- Wifes will nag if you speed in a car while their with you.
So this article is saying an senior hit a minivan at 68-75 mph on the interstate and fled doing speeds over 100 where they then hit a pickup truck on an off ramp?
To me this sounds like the ground game version of airplane crashes being the preferred assassination method of the deepstate.
For the record, a car is 100% hackable and this has been proven since roughly 2014. Relevant link: https://www.wired.com/2016/08/jeep-hackers-return-high-speed-steering-acceleration-hacks/
In roughly 2014, Road and Track or Car and Driver did the original report on the hacking and other places have picked up the story thereafter.
Things that have led to this:
-
Throttle by wire. The theottle body is controlled by the engine module instead of an physical cable between the gas pedal and throttle body. This has been around since the early 2000s as far as i know.
-
Steering by wire. Steering is controlled by an electric motor making hydraulic pressure and feeding the electric steering rack. There is no steering shaft between the wheel and steering system.
-
Electronic controlled braking. Since the commonplace of ABS, the ABS module can create brake fluid pressure and regulate pressure to each wheel. Not so bad until the combination with a radar, allowing a car to brake on its own under a guise of "Collision avoidence"
-
CAN lines, every module in most of todays cars talk to each other via CAN lines.
-
Telematics. Many cars can be connected to via satalite or cellular connections. Ford gives drivers the option of logging into a website to see what faults their car has and to schedule service at a dealer. How would their website know what faults a car is showing with just a vin ubless there has been some communication with the car in question.
Edit: adding number 6. 6. Firewalls were introduced around 2017. If ypu look into a tuner for a 2017 plus car, they require unlocking to put in a tune. This was due to a firewall added to ECMs to prevent hacking. I.E. ensure only those in the deepstate could do a hack.
I know I am often in awe of what our IT experts and autists are able to figure out, im happy to once though have a subject matter i can help provide relevent indepth information on. I work in the diesel field for a living and saw many of these technologies come on those vehicles first before happening to common gas cars.
