Hackers can turn web-connected car washes into horrible death traps

"I just wait for it to rain, me."

I just have the car coated with that silicate protective stuff and then explain to anyone who looks like they deserve being bored silly that the car must not be cleaned too much to prevent it being washed away.

That's my excuse anyway.

But, you know, hackers are one thing but the people who use powerwashes on their cars don't seem to worry about the consequences of forcing water at pressure into bearings and under rubber boots, or washing off gritty particles at such pressure that they then score the paint. It seems people are quite capable of doing damage themselves.
