Best security for the connected car - the unconnected car
I am preparing for several years of massive clusterf*** until the dust settles and the car manufacturers come to grip with the idea of security and attack from the media unit and the "connected" part. This adds to the perfect storm of emission scandals, new mandatory fuel economy specs and generation change in the hybrid/electrical and fuel economy tech.
As a result I decided that it is the right time for my primitive and unconnected vehicles to get an overhaul, full underbody restoration and a blanket gadget uplift to quell any peasant uprisings in the rear seats (including internet on the go of a TP-link 3020 running OpenWRT). Yeah, sure, the car looks dated outside and the wife is grumbling from time to time about that. So what? I can now observe the clusterf*** from the side lines.
Once the IoT and emission dust has settled in ~ 4 years time I will be looking for a new vehicle. Prior to that, err... no... thanks. Pass the popcorn please.
