Blue car in the background is a facelifted fifth gen RAV4. Obvious from the shape of the mirrors and headlight. Toyota/Lexus would align with the "both brands" remark.

White one is harder to tell obviously, but the shape of the mirror looks the same, and you can see the top of the dash has a chamfered shape that looks an awful lot like this pic: https://media.ed.edmunds-media.com/toyota/rav4/2022/oem/2022...

Posting a video demo probably isn't a great idea for this kind of thing. I'm sure some sicko could have figured this out just from the sound the locks make.

Keeping information under wraps just encourages more security theater, like people believing that locks actually work to deter skilled attackers, whatsoever. They really don't. They deter casual attackers at best.

I was trying to figure out which make/model, based off of "I bought a new four wheel drive/SUV from them", specifically the "four wheel drive" part.

I'm assuming he means AWD.

I am more concerned with the use of automatic video blurring of the text outputs on the computer.

Yeah they also did a video on YouTube about how they used Flutter in the RAV 4, and the first code snippet he posted... `dartExecutor`. lol

I was just going to comment about how GPT-Astra, Claude, and Gemini Argon all pointed to Toyota/Lexus based on context cluses, API markers, Lexus RX in the video, and deduction based on the author's previous posts and these being the remaining manufacturers to not be explored by them.

All the secrecy seems pointless in the age of AI.
