2 months agoyeah, you can’t really buy a car that doesn’t have mobile data for “telemetry” (your driving data is sold to insurance companies)
even base trims get some phone app stuff, meaning there’s the ability to execute commands on the car. so, if they really wanted, there’s nothing stopping automakers from bricking your car, gas or EV, because they feel like it.
yipee…
Command it to flicker mysteriously when someone arrives / walks past (perhaps determined by a new Bluetooth device like a phone being seen with a signal strength above some threshold?). Or, set up an anemometer. On nights with dramatic weather, as the wind gusts you can trigger spooky flickering. Or via lightning strike data off the internet.
I’m not sure why my mind went to making your house haunted, but there you go…
