| "The car can also communicate with other vehicles" This topic is interesting in quite a few aspects. Firstly, it's something I thought of long ago, but due to implementation details (ECM is a closed, obfuscated PITA). The biggest ideas revolving around this com device is how it processes the communication. Is the communication an authenticated protocol? Being an amateur radio operator and a fellow hacker, I can think of plenty of things to do regarding this device, both good and bad. Does it take "suggestions" from other devices? If so, do these suggestions get stored in a sort of a log to prove action your AI takes is the fault of another? And there's the security involved in the local processor. Many in this community are turned off to the idea of secure computing. In this case however, could lead to a bad user fake-signing messages to other cars. This is an open question, due to many secure implementations successfully hacked (Nintendo DS, PS2, PS3, Blu-Ray, various media stores). I'm sure there is a way to make a car-puter that interfaces with other vehicles for a mesh network. However, I would believe that this network would have to be one of those close to being mathematically provable languages. And I would not think that TOYOTA would be capable of this. |
