    Hmm it is good to highlight if the company can remotely disable the vehicle.

    That means they could also remotely change the driving characteristics, as long as it had a data connection. Like, disabling the brakes.

    This dude is shit and musk is shit but this is a universal worry for web connected vehicles.

    If I recall correctly such tampering was suspected to even be involved in a journalist’s death way back in 2013. However this is speculation.
