Motherboard reported last week that the hacker — identified only by the handle L&M — cracked more than 7,000 iTrack accounts and more than 20,000 Protrack accounts that some companies use to manage their commercial fleets through GPS signals. For now, much of the problem has centered on keyless locking and ignition systems, which can be vulnerable to interception. The German General Automobile Club, or ADAC, reported that 230 of 237 model cars it tested had keyless starting and locking devices that were vulnerable to theft, the BBC says.

if we're going to have automated driving they better be open-source so we can verify they are safe and recompile to avoid hacks. Otherwise no dice. Just computers alone where you can't do that are 100% compromised. Can't put my life in a CAR that compromised

The network itself is the problem. To fix it, some industries undergo radical changes & others disappear. The problem has been obvious for decades & I can't be the only person who knows the approach to fixing it. Or am I? Hint - It's not encryption.
