Need moar people doing this

It has gotten increasing attention from the hacking community.

Example-Defcon has had a "car hacking" village and featured talks in the matter for some time.

I see a failure to network between groups and a general dismissive attitude from most of the (auto) service industry and general public overall.

All the big auto makers will be 100% behind the curve when it comes to security.

Always had been.

Most consumer devices aren't meant to be secure. Just convenient.

That’s because these mega corps love total control just like their political counterparts

Automotive software should be open source, just like all other software, otherwise we’re all slaves to their whims

I don't disagree.

All attempts at open sourcing anything (by aftermarket, small scale operations) is generally met with immediate rejection by well lobbied state authority.

#Bitcoin fixes this

Bitcoin offers an alternatives to funding and incentivizing research and development.

However, there is little interest shown by BTC maxis in moving this direction.
