alt Hacker NewsYour comment just tells me that a modern 7 series BMW or a Cayenne is now prime candidate for a similar hack. Couple of weeks for motivated hackers and now they can steal a luxury car and ship it to Africa / Middle East ? Six digits payout for couple weeks of work + cost of LLM subscription.
Does anyone know if something like a McLaren or Ferrari have similar systems? I can easily imagine Lamborghini having something like this since they are under the VAG umbrella.
If the author's Subaru project[0] is anything to go by, some automakers have ability to remotely stop and start the car too. I don't see why you would dismiss this
High end luxury car lifts to order are sometimes literally that- a target car is tracked and when parked and left for some short period it gets lifted up into a truck with a Faraday cage and driven away.
Car alarms that go off are soon muffled, and any onlookers that turn see a group of high vis jacket workers, faux company logos, and a bunch of shrugging reactions to the alarm.
