The scary part to me (noted in the article as well) is less the technical hack but more so the amount of data they are collecting.

Subaru had/has an ongoing issue where the telematics drains the battery while the car is parked, especially if it’s parked out of reach of cell towers. With the amount of data they are sending, it’s not surprising.

There is no need for the car to report its position whatsoever unless I request assistance.

Should be a nice salary boost for developers in a year or two when all these companies desperately need to rehire to fix whatever AI slop mess they have created.

And I hope every developer demands 2x their current salary if they are tasked with re-engineering that crap.

+1 for feeder

SO is rapidly fading into irrelevance, but we’re all still writing code anyways. Seems like the problem will solve itself.
