The sorry state of IOT security combined with V2V/V2X really worries me.

The S in IoT is for Security; the P is for Privacy.

What's going to be even more fun is when the cars gets hacked, given that their are 100+ (200+) car makers, specially with ev cars (WSJ claimed 140+ makers in China) Bloomberg claimed 500+. I'm not dissing Chinese makers. I'm only sure that like everything there's an exponential curve of how serious companies take security. I'm guessing, of the car makers out there, Tesla and Rivan are near the top since they are new…

> such devices often run on outdated Android versions, which have unpatched vulnerabilities and are no longer supported with updates. Many of them NEVER received a single update ever. There are so many shady companies producing TV boxes with no plan to ever provide any updates. Unless one of the larger brands make such a device, I don't see any reason to recommend anything but the ChromeCast or whatever Google calls…
