All I can say is that shivers go down my spine what could happen if one of those OEM's that have remote updates possible would get their keys compromised. You could brick hundreds of thousands of vehicles. I would be scared shitless to store those things.
Forget bricking them. How about driving their batteries to overheat? An entire fleet across a city enflamed...
Not sure that would be possible on demand, but... Yeah, there are tons of options there. Absolutely terrifying.
For context, for a short while I wrote SW for auto BCM's albeit the security stuff not the drive your batteries stuff.
Didn’t North Korea supposedly start a data center fire to cover their tracks? I believe they attached the UPS batteries.
