You should email Louis Rossmann, he's been helping people in similar situations.
I cannot figure out of Louis is Batman or Don Quixote, charging at the "windmills" of MAMAA: (Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet).

Another interesting case: a proven case of bit-flip that affected a voting machine in Belgium: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/subatomic-particl...
“ A mobile phone with 500 kilobytes of memory might only have one error every 28 years, but a router farm, such as those used by Internet providers, with 25 gigabytes of memory could have one every 17 hours.” I wonder if current AI devices have protection against this…

Hard pass. I think it’s fair, less corrupt, and more interesting that the Belgian DPA rules over Belgian privacy complaints. We might argue they will produce better/worse results than another DPA. Okay. But the whole point of much EU policy is that the member states preside over stuff themselves. That seems better than a (more) centralised bureaucracy.
Not in this case I think. This affects customers Europe wide and it should be solved at EU level.
You can't just bypass national courts and go straight to the EU.
Quite a few other manufacturers have done the same thing. I use a reverse engineered Polestar library to get charging status but I'm in the middle of building a CANBUS sniffer to do the same job because I don't trust they won't do the same thing as this. I don't really understand it, it doesn't seem to offer a huge potential revenue stream and it pisses off the people who are most invested in your product.
Ok it's clear my next car will not be a Sköda (or Volkswagen)

If you look at the greater NW European area there were (are still?) several startups, non got big enough to matter and they did not have infinite money to survive like some US based PE funded ones can. And even for Germany a quick "car startup germany" search will give you a few.
Which German/NW car start brands are start-ups?

Don Quixote feels like a bad analogy. These are real dragons. Just, more difficult to fight against.
In the end there were no spy chips, obviously.

They already add cryptographic authentication to some CAN messages, so you can't change them. It is only a matter of time until they add encryption. This is mostly a corporate problem of risk aversion in my opinion. Some department writes down a risk assessment with a list of miniscule risks, for example of some 3rd party app backend being hacked. Or just a headline "Tinkerer hacked his car to use with his home assis…
> draconian countermeasures are drafted and constructed one by one. Except when it’s about privacy or anything else we actually care about: then absolutely nothing is done because it would cost more than 0 to do anything.
Of course, if that privacy risk came from them storing and selling your data, they happily accept that, you are right in that regard.
