I think you are right. I think the unknowns are, how tiny will the script be that commands all the cars into a lake and will it be a cloud hack or a local broadcast hack?
Better question is, will they be able to outlaw t-shirts with 20km/h speed limit signs on the back or people walking on the sidewalk wearing them.

NULL km/h

It's not. You don't want to burn softwoods; they're resinous and create a ton of smoke.
A pile of Christmas trees makes for a terrific January beach bonfire.
This is what happens when optimists win and the realists are cut out of the conversation. As a taxi service, I believe I would want to know if I'm about to have a shortage of taxis in any one area of town, and I'd better only have a concentration in one area of town for an event the entire world is talking about, like a reunion tour or a championship game. Even with the hack, the moment all of the taxis started conve…
In most areas taxi-companies use a zone-based system where cars will flag what zone they're in (rarely automatically using GPS and more often via button presses) this is an effort by the cab company to keep their vacant vehicles well distributed to keep a high response rate and increase customer turnover. It also happens to have the side benefit that an operator watching the flagged zones would be able to see this ki…

This is a great way to get free firewood
softwood is horrible to use. The resin in it burns up and gums up in the chimney and can cause chimney fires. Ya its free but also burns quick and doesn't put out enough heat.

Quite surprised that Uber still operates in Russia given the situation.
Uber was selling it's stake back in February [1]. Not sure of the results of that, but maybe it's a contractual licensing issue? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-28/uber-to-a...

there were already such bugs before, and my analysis is that even the older ECU cars before the 2000s had such bugs, just nobody bothers to look for them (also ECUs have been causing deaths from bugs but they just assume its the driver's fault). self driving cars will be the next order of magnitude of problems. ECU 1x, smart 10x, self driving 100x. > In July 2015, IT security researchers announced a severe security f…
:O I would put the number of drivers who downloaded and installed the patch somewhere between 5-10.

It's worse than that. The sap in it will collect in the chimney and then cause a chimney fire. You really don't want to burn that stuff in a fireplace.
So use a rocket stove? Burns too hot and efficient to leave residue.
Back in the day (1960s?) two relatives of mine had a prank battle going on. One of them posted an add in the local newspaper offering to buy old Christmas trees, at the address of their adversary. Half the city showed up, were told trees were not in fact being bought, and everybody dumped the trees at their door.
Had a roommate in graduate school whose friend listed his car (and phone number) on craigslist for a ridiculously low price. His phone was ringing off the hook for like two days until he was able to get it taken down.
