A bit concerning if you’re thinking about buying a BYD. Four Corners got a cybersecurity expert to hack a BYD Shark 6. He was able to remotely control the lights, wipers, locks and audio, track the vehicle and activate its microphone. The really worrying part? The expert says the access didn’t even require a password. And Australia apparently has stronger cybersecurity requirements for connected washing machines and vacuum cleaners than it does for cars. Maybe the rush to put computers on wheels has got a little ahead of the security. #byd #ev #cybersecurity #privacy #cars #australia https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09-21/byd-hacked-by-cybersecurity-expert-vehicle-sabotage-surveillance/107139482

We asked a cybersecurity expert to remotely access a BYD. It was too easy

To test the risks of surveillance and sabotage, Four Corners asked a hacker to show what China's top EV brand could see and do remotely.

Replying to
🧵 12/21 https://www.visitstockholm.com/travel-info/public-transportation-in-stockholm/ To get to Rinkeby and Drottningholm, I used public transport. The underground train system was easy to understand and use, and the trains were clean and comfortable. Using the bus was a little more challenging, but the transportation workers were happy to help me. Individual tickets were not cheap, and concessions to the elderly and young notwithstanding, I wondered how big of an expense commuting is for those working in Stockholm. SL, the transportation authority for the city, makes much of the public art in the underground stations. I did not go to enough stations to take in this part of the system. I did, however, get the impression that less of the wall space in the system is covered with advertising compared to the Underground in London or the Metro in Paris. That fleeting impression of mine could be mistaken though. Even though I did not use it much, I was glad to see that Stockholm has an efficient and comprehensive public transport system. How much of a problem is car use in Stockholm? How many people in Stockholm and Sweden in general have fallen under the malign spell of the oversized US style SUV? #Sweden #Stockholm #Transit #PublicTransport #Cars #SUV #SL

Someone mentioned Victor Papanek on Fedi today, and I’m reminded of his story about the 5 MPH bumper regulation that was proposed in Washington DC in 1972: the regulation said that a 5 MPH collision should not damage lights and other safety equipment. Car manufacturers predictably complained about the rule, claiming that it would add $300–$500 to the cost of each car. Papanek claimed that he could make a compliant bumper in 10 minutes for under $5. Papanek’s solution was called “the hoagie”: two planks of wood with 60 empty beer cans between them. He attached the contraption to a car and drove it into an office building at 10 MPH and the car sustained no damage. Papanek’s solution was, of course, not commercially viable. But he did prove the point that such a device was plausible and need not cost a fortune. #design #industrialDesign #cars hxxps://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1977/06/09/when-things-fall-apart/7bd3887d-4003-4fc2-8450-07d82e6310f7/

I’ve been a bit MIA from Mastodon for the last few days, but there’s a good reason. I bought a 1974 MGB GT V8 project from the father of a friend of mine. Aside from needing a good deal more work, there was a catch. The car was in Burnet, Texas. I live in Michigan. So me, my friend, and another friend are on a mission to run down to Texas to retrieve Gerald the GT and bring him back to Michigan. September 5, 2026. Burnet, Texas. #photography #car #cars #mg #mgb #lbc #WeirdCarMastodon

Tax rates for vehicle registrations should be based on weight * horsepower and maybe one or two other terms like maybe axles or model year age. This 777 hp dodge ram suv is going to be a literal killer and it only primarily be bought by road-rage-prone ass holes. Fortunately, insurance rates and fuel consumption are already going to be too heavy a load for most people's wallets. https://www.autoblog.com/news/rams-first-suv-coming-with-777-hp-supercharged-v8 #Cars #Dodge #SUV
