Re: OTA Updates for Cars
"How do you "just turn off the ignition" in your ICE car when the ignition switch is just a trigger to a computer?"
Not in my 2008 car, its a physical wired connection.
" How do you "just put it in neutral" when a lot of ICE autobox gear selectors are nothing more than a fancy switch?"
You've never heard of manual gearboxes I take it? And the auto box is generally a failrly dumb self contained remotely unhackable unit except in up market cars.
"As for battery overcurrent controls, I think you're underestimating a little invention from the far off days of 1864: the fuse."
Apparently you don't understand how lithium batteries charge. Never mind, next...
"If you think your ICE car is truly "off" when you remove the key, you're about 40 years out of date."
The engine ECU is physically switched off in most cars - the only thing left on is the security system. And if you're dumb enough to have bought a car with a key fob instead of a key then more fool you. You'll probably have it nicked soon anyway thanks to spoofing.
