Hmmm.....she is not wrong. Get a car no newer than 2012, ditch the new tv's. Cellphones are spying on you and killing you.

I am not seeing an issue here. She is finally getting redpilled into territory you are not comfortable with it would seem.

Actually 2004 was last safe. Cash for Clunkers Obama's baby... to have the power to shut shit down remotely from tractors, transport & personal vehicles spun me more than thoughts of EMP attacks.

Ahh...ok was not aware of remote shutdown. I remember reading that 2012 on board computers could be communicated to via satellite up-link (which most cars starting in 2012 had equipped standard). But yeah anything with a computer sat comms dating back to 1999 I suppose is susceptible.

I assume you are saying that cars up to 2012 did not have the vulnerability now on board every car which allows external takeover through a master computer system — thus all the inexplicable crashes by high visibility people with no attempt at braking, right? Do you know whether a 2012 Volvo C70 T5 would be secure from this?

I am going off memory. It was standardized in the US all cars received in 2012 with respect to satellite comms. As someone else pointed out it actually goes back to 2004 with respect to sat comms on board and how they communicate with the computer. But in 2012 I believe fed mandate was to allow two way communication with on board computer and outside sources. No US sold vehicle would be safe from this. But it was never really discussed in the public eye as far as I know.
