I’m still not sure if those require giving the car a WiFi/cellular connection or if it’ll just use it’s own… I’ve heard that cars use their own SIMs to phone home, but I don’t actually know how prevalent that is

Researchers connected each vehicle to a custom WiFi access point and logged all outgoing traffic.

The article talks about both apps and the vehicles themselves. I would really like to see more info on what the cars do when you take the apps out of the equation. Are there any that don’t phone home unless you explicitly give them internet access?

A study about the results will be published this week.

I look forward to reading this.

Edit: actually there’s quite a bit more detailed info at https://automatictransmission.khoury.northeastern.edu/

Maybe start by doing something about all the crimes the AI companies admitted to allowing after they plugged their text generators into a computer terminal.

They could hook a nuclear missile silo computer up to a hamster wheel, and leave a hamster nearby. That would also have a pretty high chance of ending the world.
