most car thieves are stupid anyway.
I doubt they have the knowledge to even crack these codes.

 

"and the medical school at the University of California, Los Angeles, plans to implant chips in cadavers to curtail unauthorized sale of body parts."

What do people want with corpses? :ugh:

More electronic shit you don't need IMO. And it means I have to go to the dealer and waste money if something ever goes wrong with it or I want a copy.

 

You guys have missed the point of the findings completely.

The cars are the least of the worries. This same system is used by the FDA to stop counterfitting of pharmacy drugs, as well as inventory systems etc. This finding could be used in ways you couldn't even imagine to take advantage of a large number of systems out there.

And before you discount the intelligence of a car thief think about something as simple as hacking your game system....at first it was deemed impossible, then a few did it and it was very difficult, now every schmuck and his cousin can hack a console with minimal knowledge. Same goes for car theft or theft procedures in general

 

theft deterent is a pharse alot like water resistant

nothing is fullproof.

 

what does fullproof mean?

 

Or foolproof even

Yes I agree nothing is foolproof, as a former car thief I used to prove this point all the time to peopleh:

But the point is that cars are a minor part of what this system does and if you only focus on the fact that a few cheap ass cars are going to be stolen instead of the possible flaw in a security system governing our medicine supplies, or food supplies, then you are worried about the wrong things.

 

opps, my bad
hangovers can kiss my ass

 

except a 1991 buick.. shit that thing wont die (smashed thru snow piles 10 ft hight, not a ding, flying over a sewage bump, not a ding, locked the keys in the car, nearly needed the jaws of like for get back in)
:edit:
jaws of life**
:doh: i feel like a moron, thats 2 in a row

 

The chip-in-key setup is based on a challenge/response system where the chip has to respond with the right passkey in order for the engine to start.

The RFID tags that are going to be added to everything aren't for authentication as much as they're for identification. I'm don't think that hacking the engine immobilizers is going to have consequences in other areas.

 

jeez John...you certainly did some bad things in your past. its good to see you turned your life around for the better.
