Sorry but my BMW has had an ethernet backbone inside it for years. My ODB-II connector has pins used for ethernet connection for programming and coding.
It seems the article writer has zero education about modern cars. Oh and "proven security" called isolated networks are just fine.
The Telecommunications module can easily be a 2 part box that has a second processor specific for system updates. Telcom side downloads the file, update side looks at the file in the flash storage and checks not only it's checksum but also decrypt it using the vehicle's VIN number. Then does a handshake to verify with the manufacturers server that the file is good by asking for a hash of the contents encrypted with the vehicles vin number. If it get's the answer back that it is OK. we are golden. That way anything downloaded must be specific for that vehicle and will stop 99% of all hackers as well as ensure that an update that is not for that vehicle will not get applied. Then it copies the decrypted files into the updater system and does the update to Secondary flash. That way if things go sideways it can simply revert to the last running good and send back a "fail" to the manufacturer.
This crap is not hard and you do NOT need firewalls and other shit cluttering up the vehicles systems.
Same as the networks? When I worked at comcast we helped test and install MPEG2 stream compressors that would drop frames here and there from a movie or TV show to give us 2 more advertising insertion spots than what the TV network had. Yes that's right, we inserted MORE ad's than the network had by dropping frames.
There is a reason that I refuse to have Comcast Cable and Comcast Internet even if it's the fastest I can get around here... After working for them, I will never ever give them any money Or let them into my home.
BMW tried that. they specify a "special" oil for their cars and bikes. Luckily there are people that have higher IQ's than BMW engineers and you can use cheap synthetic 5W30 oil at a sane 7500mile oil change interval and be better off than their special BMW LL-01 at a 15,000 mile change.
Also the BMW canbus, Kbus, and ODB-II is so hacked that you can do anything you want. GM, FORD and ther others also tried to lock down their data busses, but people hack them anyways and release the information.
What is needed is a federal mandate that requlre all vehicle and equipment makers publish full details on their systems freely.
Exactly, The guy in the article was not the brightest person. And yes you are correct, you can fool the sensor a lot easier than trying to change the code. and if you were really bright, you made it a plug in so that you can undo the chance in 10 seconds in case you DID need the factory to come and fix something.
That is my hope, is a giant step in tech to give our troops full battle mechs so we can just go and decimate anyone that holds an AK over their head shooting it sideways.
I use also it for the apple movies, because every Blu Ray I get has a code I can enter that gives me a "free" copy through apple. Youtube and Hulu Plus is also great through it as well as the PBS app so I can stream Austin City Limits episodes.
99% of all TV shows are available for purchase on Apple TV at exorbitant prices, but they are there... Here is hoping that they have an ala-carte version that is affordable in the $9.00 a month price point like Hulu Plus
They do not care about your security or your money. Without federal regulation forcing it they will never do it on their own as it will dip into the record breaking profits they make every single month.
We need to go back to heavy bank regulation and forcing banks to do the right thing.

Why bother with that when he can shift into neutral at 10 mph over the speed limit and redline it. He knows better than anyone else.

Shhh! That's a secret!
No sir all US navy ships still use coal for propulsion... Hope they dont take out our coal supply ships....

Everything you need is right there on that website...
Oh that sucks.... Region locking is the biggest box of poop ever created.
And these companies wonder why people end up having to do things to get around their dumb restrictions.

You should explore the other services on the ATV.
Considering the iphone 6 outsold all Android phones put together since it's release?

I think your america is insanely different than the one that really exists.
Tell Comcast that.....

Banks are ran by assholes.

I DONT reccomend HTC. Get Samsung or better yet, buy a nexus phone.
I have an HTC ONE M8 biggest POS ever. and their damned "S-ON" security bullshit is so bad that never buying HTC anything forever is worth it.
Quit being a poor person and buy a Nexus outright and get a REAL Android phone that does not fight you.
There is no TRY.... Only DO.
Get off your asses, tell the CEO of Comcast to stuff it in his pie-hole and just do it.
If you planned ahead you bought that online already. Far better prices on paper and toner Via Amazon plus I dont have to carry it. The fedex guy does.
Yes, drink massive amounts of coffee.
Coffee makes you live forever.
Runners High... It's like Heroin. They are no different than junkies.
Holy crap....
Hell has officially frozen over. That would have never happened under the iron Fist of Ballmer.
This just might make the RasPi Windows 10 release relevant.
Now make the whole Visual Studio suite available for free to home users.
Yet he did more to save their asses than ALL of the RAF.
I hope all you brits are still ashamed of yourselves.
sorry but Uber seems to have a higher share of body odor drivers than regular taxi companies.
Not yet.... Sony is working on it.
