reminder, these vendors like Volvo etc., don't really want you to report vulns, you should just sell them to a broker instead and get some actual money as well, it's a win win.

Though in this case, with all the tracking being thrown into newer cars, maybe a bit of a gap is a good thing for the future. Jailbreaking vehicles would be a cool thing to see become widespread.
Are you thinking about Volvo cars? There are two Volvo companies, Volvo cars and Volvo group. This seems to be about Volvo group which makes commercial vehicles like trucks and busses.
That would be Volvo cars. tfa is about Volvo group, which is Swedish and makes among other things Volvo trucks. (Or HGVs as they might be called in Europe)
