To the people that know the internet well, and to the people who know a lot about electrical engineering (anything within within or near the focus of those topics):

Will we be able to hack cars? And when I say hack, I mean have cars do things they weren't supposed to do in the first place. Im referring to the Hybrids. A slot of stuff in the hybrids are electric, including the engine. Im not saying there aren't computers in cars already, but Im thinking about the future, when most(if not all) cars will be hybrids.

The image that sparked this question was the power button on the dashboard of a hybrid(while watching the a documentary on the discovery channel). It made me think of computers.

Thats just one.

So I was thinking - since people figured out how to modify things like PSPs, iPods, Operating systems etc... then do you think some day people will be using thier own software to modify hardware in hybrids?

I think Im going overboard with it, but its just another thought of mine.

Some new cars are now stolen using a laptop rather stealing the keys as its easier.

I dont see how you would get enjoyment out of steeling a car.

There's a film called 'Gone in 60 seconds' that's about stealing cars.

You could do that now, if you found some way to connect into the cars system you could do stuff like altering the fuel injection.

Some people have already hacked thru keyless entry systems so I guess that's a start.

Yup pretty much. But dont you think they have ways to stop such acts? And yet again, whats the point in hacking cars because im sure they could trace your ass so easly and you would go to jail for multiple things.

No point unless you have the connections to get rid of the car as a professional thief would have. Remember they only catch the dumb criminals. Quite a few new cars now have bonnet alarms to try to prevent this kind of theft.

People have been hacking (in the general sence of the word) cars pretty much since there were invented i just see this as something new to play about with...

Quite a sad thought, Quan.

Leave the internet...

Well, since almost all cars nowdays come with an onboard computer.
As to make cars do things they weren't initially meant to...install the proper wiring onto the key areas and then the appropriate software/programming onto the onboard computer, perhaps install a form of remote radio communication and you have yourself a ghost car.
As for hacking...if enough control over the vehicle be handed over to the computers and their software will be sophisticated enough as well as preferably offer some kind of an API to the outside, then yes, the potential be definitely there.

Stfu Apache. No one cares about you or what you say. All you are is some child who thinks he is "All that" because he post on a forum. Its a game, and you make it a competition. We are here for fun, you turn it into a flame. Take your head out of your ass and see the light.

Confess, you seem more of a hypocrite rather than a "holy person" as you say you are.

Did I say that I do not consider myself lower then others? I am stating that he needs to stop his pointless badgering. 9/10 of his post says something to the degree of "good, leave, die". I cannot bear it any longer. If I had the right to ban him, I would have done it the day he joined.

Ever since he "Owned OF", he has had this attitude. Lemme tell ya something bub. You're what, 14? What gives you any kind of right to talk to someone who is older, wiser, stronger, and more mature than your little brain could ever comprehend? I feel sorry for you Apache. I pitty you.

Purge: I have never said that I was a holy person. Not once. I consider myself to be one of the most sinful people on the planet, and there are billions of people on the planet.

I only know of one "Holy" person, and that is Jesus Christ. If you consider someone to be "holy", then you are mistaken.

Anyways, my rant is over.
Good day.

Um. For seeming to quote the Bible so much... did you miss the part where it said Jesus's followers are holy? Well, actually, that's pretty much the whole New Testament. I think you need to re-read that, and look up a definition of "holy".

Apache, also know as lp_street_faggot and newb, same person that has been and still will be disliked for his actions, retardness, and imcompacity to do anything other then use words such as "You're stupid" "Leave this game" etc. Commonly found on the internet on the message boards known as MGBF and SSForum. Disliked by more then 7/10 of the people on both boards.
