Jedes nach 2008 hergestellte Auto birgt das gleiche digitale Sicherheitsrisiko

So, RFIDs are in tires? LOL, forget that, Flock cameras are everywhere.

That’s okay. It’s just another way we can be tracked. Cell phones, toll devices and flock cameras not to mention stationary video cameras on homes and buildings.

one could simply put classic vents in the wheels, once they get requiered legally it gets more complicated but number plate tracking is much easier isn’t it?

Yeah let’s all freak out about our tires when we’re all walking around with another tracking device in our pocket or on our wrist every day.

Fear monger article. The range on these things is like 10 feet tops, not 160.

DOTs have been using the Bluetooth IDs from the tire pressure sensors for travel time detection on corridors for years. This has been a known thing.

Thank God I drive a 2007

I want a car that i can fix my self, that is mechanical as far as possible, with knobs and maybe at the most a small display on the radio, that has an electric drive, with batteries i can replace my self, but is not a freaking computer on wheels. I want steering you can feel the road trough, and breaks you can feel the road trough, and no damn subscriptions, and maybe the possibility to relatively easily convert it to a fossil fuel drive car by removing the front wheels and popping a motor unit with wheels in the frunk. I want a car i can maintain my self, and get to know, enjoy, put to good use, and that gets me places, not some house of cards digital shitshow with no soul that feels like a flimsy Temu robot, i want a machine that delivers, and if something fails, i can jerry rig it and get on. Dammit.

EVERY car? (and then a photo of a jeep?)

my 2022 tacoma doesn’t have TPMS

it also doesn’t have keyless entry or start

its also manual

There’s got to be a better way of tracking vehicles, like say a plate with some numbers on it. Maybe make it alpha numeric in a font that can be easily read via character recognition by a camera…… /s

Wow, that last paragraph. Just showed the article writers do not understand the issue at all.

Encryption won’t do anything, the issue is your device has a unique ID it uses to communicate. Just like your wifi device or ethernet device does. It doesn’t matter what you communicate over the link, if the device speaks at all then it sends the unique ID out.

And of course authentication would do nothing at all because you don’t need to authenticate to listen.

Another feather added to palantir’s bow.

Not every car has active TPMS. Some have passive TPMS which works off of the ABS sensors…

ABS sensors work by counting rotations of the axle, if 1 is rotating slightly more or less, it tells you to check your tire pressure
